I'm working for a company and just deployed a project for them, but I encountered an issue. so, when you go to the link http://domain, you can go to the page, and from there you can go to any other page (react route), but if you go directly to http://domain/some-end-point, it shows 404 not found. does anyone know how to fix it?
That happened because your server side doesn't handle redirect to index.html, You can fix it by config your back end to always redirect to html, or simply you can fix it from react-router using HashRouter instead of BrowserRouter
here is a full explanation about Server side vs client side routing
Add the following code to the public folder file name should be
_redirects
/* /index.html 200

You can fix this with .htaccess in the root folder :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>

Full error message: Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
My problem is when I uploaded my build file to cpanel(via bluehost) I started getting this error when I try to navigate to different pages within my react. The homepage works and displays all that it's supposed to. My local host doesn't have this problem because according the react documents the development server knows how to handle the requests. I have researched everywhere on the internet for the answer to this problem, but nothing seems to work.
This is the configuration in my .htaccess file in my public directory:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
This is my package. json file:
My build file was uploaded as a zip file into cpanel > public_html. All files were extracted from the build folder and moved into public_html. Like previously stated my homepage works but when I navigate to other pages it does not.
npm run build without a .htaccess file
In cpanel in the top right corner there is a settings option. Choose settings and check the option "show hidden files." (also make sure you're in the document root)
In the top left corner there is the option to add a file. Click that and create a new .htaccess file.
Paste this in the new file, save it and you should be able to move through your website without the error message. Hopefully I just saved you the 5 days it took me to figure this out.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
I need to host my react project in a sub-folder of a domain. e.g. mydomain.com/react-project/
In the project, I am using react-router library for routing. I have this .htaccess file in the react-project folder to make work the router.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdirectory
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
For the home page, the project working fine. But for other URLs, the server shows the default apache "not found" page.
I tried to create a .htaccess file in the root folder of the server.
ErrorDocument 404 /react-project/index.html
With this .htaccess file, I wanted to redirect the browser to react projects index.html file. But it didn't work.
May be this is because of Client side, Server side routing issue.
I think when you refresh the page it shows 404 not found on server.
You can check this answer for help. Also use HashRouter instead of BrowserRouter and add basename={"/subdirectory"} in Routes.
I'm new to web-hosting and cPanel, so please be nice to me...
I have built a website using react and managed to upload its build file to cPanel. It seems to work fine, however, whenever I try to switch between pages, I get a 404 error, although the pages clearly exist (for example, when I press a button to switch to mydomainname.com/about-us). The switching works perfectly locally using react-router..
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me solve this problem!
Thanks in advance!
This is because ReactJS uses client side routing.
To fix 404, create a .htaccess file and paste below contents and upload it to your site root. It should work.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
If the above did not work, try below (recommended by ReactJS team), either one of this should work
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]
The switching works perfectly locally using react-router
Routing works fine with the inbuilt ReactJS web server but not with Apache web server. Also make sure you are using react router Link component to navigate between pages and not the html anchor (a) tag.
You have to redirect all the requests to your index.html. You can edit the .htaccess for that. use <Link> from react-router to make redirections.
Follow these steps and you will be fine
Specify your homepage in your package.json file like this
{
"name": "yourappname",
"homepage": "http://example.com",//add your domain here line
"private": true,
"version": "0.0.0",
}
2.Build your app by running yarn build or npm run build
3.Then copy the contents of your build folder and paste them on public_html folder in your cpanel
3.Go to your Cpanel file manager public_html folder and edit .htaccess file or create new one if it does not exist. and paste this there
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
Note the .htaccess for this should be at the same level with the contents of the build folder.
Save and your are done
When I deployed my react app to a static server it crashed on refreshing the web browser. To fix this I added the following code to my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
This resolved the rendering issue as it no longer sent a get request for the URL but used React router instead. However, this is now causing an issue where any API calls are now failing to go through to my server, but are instead being served the index.html file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have created a new application in my local environment. After completed my application, I was trying to run the build files in apache server. Everything is working fine as expected. After navigating the menu, If I click the refresh button the page is goes not found.
I am using browser router for this and I don't to use hash router.
Could you please help anyone to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance
