Do you have index.html in your root folder? What is the last modification date of it? I can reproduce the error if I manually set the modification date of index.html to some nonsense (e.g. using touch -d '1937-01-31 8:46:26' index.html
on Linux).

I am running a hugo static webpage and in the root directory of the webpage I am running http-server, and it seems to work.

The index.html file is in a folder within the root directory called "public".

I'm just going to chalk this up to hugo doing something weird with the modification date of the files, and will resolve to not leave it running for extended periods of time.
