I think it does that if the page does not exist. Is there an index.html page in the site folder? did you rename/delete the index page in the source?

Do you not have a \_config.yml file? if not, maybe that is a problem? I’ve never tried it without one.

I think I am wrong on it showing the listing on page not found.

Before running a Jekyll server, your project folder needs to be a Jekyll Site.  
From your `Documents/` directory, first run the following:

```auto
jekyll new tuts

```

this will create a Jekyll Site at `~Documents\tuts`.  
then `cd` into the newly generated `tuts/` folder and then run the Jekyll server
