this error probably is occurred most of the time due to missing closing tag  and further you can the following dependency to resolve this issue while supporting legacy HTML formate   as it your code      charset  UTF-8   here is no closing for meta tag    lt dependency gt   lt groupId gt net sourceforge nekohtml lt  groupId gt   lt artifactId gt nekohtml lt  artifactId gt   lt version gt 1 9 22 lt  version gt                                    lt  dependency gt

I am new to spring spent an hour trying to figure this out  go to   ---  gt   application properties add these   spring thymeleaf prefix classpath  templates  spring thymeleaf suffix  html

index html should be inside templates  as I know  So  your second attempt looks correct   But  as the error message says  index html looks like having some errors  E g  the in the third line  the meta tag should be actually head tag  I think

For me the issue was because of Case sensitivity  I was using   fragments Base  instead of   fragments base   The name of the file was base html   My development environment was windows but the server hosting the application was Linux so I was not seeing this issue during development since windows  paths are not case sensitive

this can be resolved by copying the below code in application properties  spring thymeleaf enabled false

In the console is telling you that is a conflict with login  I think that you should declare also in the index html thymeleaf  Something like         lt html xmlns  http   www w3 org 1999 xhtml       xmlns th  http   www thymeleaf org       xmlns sec  http   www thymeleaf org thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity3      xmlns layout  http   www ultraq net nz thymeleaf layout  gt    lt head gt   lt meta charset  utf-8    gt   lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE edge    gt   lt title gt k lt  title gt    lt  head gt

It May be due to some exceptions like  Parsing NUMERIC to String or vise versa    Please verify cell values either are null or do handle Exception and see   Best  Shahid
