404 on deployed Vite + SolidJs app
Hi I've been trying to debug this issue for a week with no luck.
Context:
I've got a Solid Js app built by Vite all deployed to my Railway account.
Problem:
When I try to route to any route that isn't the root
"/", I get a 404 in the deployed version of the app. However when I try to use the same route locally I don't get the error and the content is displayed correctly.
Can anyone help me out with this?
What I've done to try to resolve:
- Added a _redirects file to the root of my repository
- Added a base tag to my index.html head with an href pointing to the root route "/"
- Confirmed that I have the correct solid plugin in my vite config json fileSolution:Jump to solution

any reason you don't have a lock file in this repo?
no good reason, no is that recommended? I am not a frontend pro by any means, and I thought build files shouldn't get committed and got built in whatever environment they were deployed to
build files shouldn't get committed you are correct about that, but a lock file is not a build file, it's recommended to have a lock file
do you use npm or pnpm?
yarn
thanks for the info i'll get a lockfile pushed
then you'd want to have a yarn.lock file
changes deploying, will let you know how it goes
I have made a grave mistake
oh no
start command should actually be
serve dist -s -n -L -p $PORTlol
sorry
no worries
i'll try that now
holy cow
that worked
thanks so much i've been losing hair over this
if i get rich and famous some day i'll put you in my memoir

I wrote this guide too, if you wanna learn more about that start command, it's for a create react app but very similar start command
