Application template returns "Not Found" error on HarperDB 4.6.7 (worked on 4.5.8)

Bug Report

Description

When following the documentation to clone and run the application template, the application returns "Not Found" instead of working normally. This appears to be a version compatibility issue.

Environment

• HarperDB Version: 4.6.7 (current)
• Previously Working Version: 4.5.8
• URL Accessed: http://localhost:9926/Greeting
• Error: "Not Found" displayed in browser

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the application-template repository
2. Follow the setup instructions from the documentation
3. Start HarperDB 4.6.7
4. Navigate to http://localhost:9926/Greeting
5. Observe "Not Found" error instead of expected greeting

Expected Behavior

The application should display the greeting page as it did with HarperDB 4.5.8

Actual Behavior

Browser shows "Not Found" error

Additional Context

• The same application template worked correctly with HarperDB 4.5.8
• This suggests a breaking change or compatibility issue introduced in version 4.6.7
• The HarperDB server appears to be running correctly (visible in terminal output)

Request

Please investigate the compatibility issue between the application template and HarperDB 4.6.7, and either:

1. Update the template to work with 4.6.7, or
2. Document the version compatibility requirements

Thank you!

Hi @thesonpb,

Thanks for reporting this issue. You're correct, this is an edge case for us. There's a file watching compatibility issue on Windows with HarperDB 4.6.x.

Status: The fix is under review.

Workaround Options:

1. Use WSL to run HarperDB
2. Use Docker to run HarperDB
3. Downgrade to HarperDB 4.5.8 temporarily (this is not ideal)

I'll update this issue when the fix is released. This primarily affects development on bare Windows, production deployments on Linux/Docker are unaffected.

Let me know if you need any clarification or run into issues with the workarounds!
