Why is my Read the Docs build failing?

Question

I'm trying to make documentation with read the docs for a dummy package, to learn how to use RTD. I followed this tutorial and successfully made index.html and pushed my changes to git (though I'm using gitlab instead of github to host my code). However I cannot get it to be hosted on RTD.

I've connected RTD to my gitlab project via a webhook (and tested it on gitlab; it passed the test). I have both the gitlab project and the RTD project set to public. However I've tried building a version on RTD and it fails every time, without providing a warning/reason.

The first few times when I clicked on the RTD link for my project it said the page doesn't exist, now I get the following error:

Permission Denied You don't have the proper permissions to view this page. Please contact the owner of this project to request permission.

Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?

try to open cmd as administrator and then:
