I'm having problems with the project building on Read the Docs

问题

Created sphinx project with sphinx-quickstart. Ran "make html" and no errors produced. Pushed all the code to GitHub. I tried to import and build project on Read the Docs, but get the following errors. I haven't problems when using a Mac- it builds and renders the code on Read the Docs. This time I'm using Windows 10.

Traceback (most recent call last):

It worked by just adding master_doc = 'index' to the conf.py file.
