spring boot - Intellij Springboot problems on startup

Question

I am really new with spring boot, so I started with some tutorials to create a simple Rest example (my final goal is to integrate it with mongodb, but I need to start!). I created a new project on IntelliJ with Spring Initializr and choosed Web and Mongodb as features. Then I added only a class,

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class HelloController {

@RequestMapping("/")
public String index() {
    return "Greetings from Spring Boot!";
}

}

When I run the project, the console is

 2018-09-03 20:08:33.139  INFO 1363 --- [           main]

But when I go on localhost:8080/ I get 404 error. What did I do wrong in my helloworld? Is there anything that should I make before running the application?

Answer 1

Your package structure is wrong:

prova.HelloController

test.test.TestApplication

The HelloController must be on the same level or below TestApplication.
