I have been creating this website for a few weeks now (I am fairly new to web-dev) and have just recently made a repo (on Github) for it.
Link:
https://github.com/Lathryx/TopShelf-Recipes
I want to deploy with Netlify however I am unable to. Netlify continuously gives a 404 error on the site(s) that I create. I think it has something to do with the publish directory but I'm not sure. I want it to open to landing.html.
The few times I have tried to deploy now I have tried:
No build command/publish directory.
No build command and the publish directory set to TopShelf Recipes
(have also tried /TopShelf Recipes).
No build command and the publish directory set to TopShelf Recipes/landing.html.
No build command and the publish directory set to /TopShelf Recipes/landing.

I really don't know what to do. Does anybody know why this is happening?
The netlify/my-first-netlify-deploys demo project shows files with a netlify.toml to adtually generates the files.
Result: https://playwith.netlify.app/
But if there are no generation involved, then said files should be directly at the root folder of the repository, not in a subfolder.
The landing page of your site must be titled index.html (as I’ve found), this fixed it for me. Mine (originally) was titled landing.html.
I will keep this in mind in the future.

I recently worked on a personal project using React and that included files like: app.js, app.css, index.js and everything worked smoothly. However, when trying to deploy the site, I keep receiving this
error. My main files are within the src directory shown here. On the github pages tab, what should I change the custom domain to so that I can successfully deploy the website?
I've also read somewhere that I can create a dummy index.html file, but I am still deeply confused. Any guidance on how to deploy the site would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
This article contains steps needed to deploy react app in github pages.

I am managing a mostly static site through GoDaddy.
The site is a React single page application, that is still currently under development, and that occasionally needs content updating. The project folder is hosted as a public git repository.
My goal is to be able to automate the process of updating the site. Currently I need to:
npm run build
navigate to the build folder in windows file explorer
navigate to the public html folder in cpanel, in my web browser
delete the current build files
upload the contents of the build files into cpanel, folder by folder (cpanel will not allow me to upload subfolders)
I have looked through countless forum posts, and blogs, etc to find a way to automate this, but I always end up doing it manually.
You need to investigate using continuous deployment (CD/CI) and using a different hosting setup. Unfortunately, the type of platform that you use (with CPanel) is limiting and is not really oriented at your use case.
However, CPanel does have an option to use Git version control to manage the files and folders in your account. Go into this option and say "Clone repository", where you'll have to link a repo and say where it should install. Note: It is possible that your hosting provider has disabled this feature.
I suspect that this CPanel feature does not automatically pull in changes when you update the repo, so you would probably still need to manually clone the repo again when you make changes (which is still easier than copying files over). Also note that any data you store may be removed when cloning again.
I already tried a million times and not able to figure out where I am going wrong. I tried simple static website repo. I even added parcel bundler. I just get same error message.
I even forked netlify's own demo repo. And I got same message. Why I am not able to deploy the site?
I looked at forums, blogs and even answer in this forum and I am not finding clue to this exact message. I didn't have netlify.toml file. I added that file too and I don't see any change in deployment status.
Initially I was trying to just create site online by connecting to GitHub repo. When I tried Netlify-CLI I could see some deploy action happen. But server was not render. Found a guide here: https://github.com/Tanu-N-Prabhu/Multiplication-Table-App
Followed last 3 steps under Deployment section:
Go to your Netlify Dashboard to the project. Click on Site has not yet been Deployed. Again click on Deploy Preview this will unlock the Preview Deploy which is a temporary URL.
After viewing the Preview, click on Publish deploy option to deploy your project.
Now your project is live and deployed on the internet.
These steps worked. But Javascript files were not rendering. I wonder why the whole process is so cumbersome when they advertise everything is taken care by Netlify automatically? There is no document for Site has not yet been deployed on their site and google search only leads me to Page not found forum page.
You must add the --prod.
The command should look like this: netlify deploy --prod.
This fixed it for me.
I'm struggling to get a Google sample working.
I think I'm following the instructions correctly but now, when testing (in project-y), I receive a warning:
You are testing the Actions that you have created in project: project-x
I had previously used project-x but it has since been deleted. I've tried deleting the project and recreating, redeploy etc. but I'm entirely unable to avoid the error.
I'm unable to determine where project-y references project-x and how to correct this.
The only location where project-[x|y] are referenced is in ./sdk/setting/setting.yaml:
defaultLocale: en
localizedSettings:
developerEmail:
developerName:
displayName: Updates sample
fullDescription:
privacyPolicyUrl:
pronunciation: Updates sample
shortDescription:
smallLogoImage:
termsOfServiceUrl:
projectId: project-y
When I gactions push and gactions preview deploy, both commands correctly reference project-y and the generated URLs correctly point to project-y:
gactions push
Pushing files in the project "project-y" to Actions Console. This may take a few minutes.
Sending configuration files...
gactions deploy preview
Deploying files in the project "project-y" to Actions Console for preview. This may take a few minutes.
Sending configuration files...
I've scoured the gactions config and the cloned directory for hidden configuration files but am unable to find any references to project-x.
If I search, the only reference I find is the single reference to project-y in the above YAML.
I have seen the same issue.
In my case, it is because I used the same Display name for project-x and project-y.
I hope you check your project's Display name on Develop tab in Actions Console and solve your issue.
I am building a very small Node/Express API app in Azure using Twilio to route communication for a small group. I initially built out a data structure for users in CosmosDB but found out it's minimum $24 per month, which is way over budget for something that will likely hold 20 or so records. Because of this, is seems much more reasonable to just build this into a json file that sits in a ./json subfolder. However, it has occurred to me that whenever I deploy, I would be overwriting this file with the default file I have locally. I have been working via the Azure App Service tool in Visual Studio Code and can't figure out a way to make it ignore the file.
I can go into Kudu and copy the file down each time before I deploy, but I will eventually forget and this sounds like a very brittle process.
I added a json/ line to .gitignore, but that has no effect on the deployment (as expected).
I also added "appService.zipIgnorePattern": ["json{,/**}"] to the settings.json file, but instead of just ignoring that folder on the server, it erases it on deploy (the zip ignores it and then it wipes/replaces the whole wwwsite folder). Looking for the file gives me {"Message":"'D:\\home\\site\\wwwroot\\json\\users.json' not found."}
I was hoping there is a setting that would deploy, replacing all folders in the package, and ignoring all content in the ./json folder. Does this exist?
Alternative solution, 2021:
Instead of excluding folders, select the folder that you do want to deploy. Data in other folders will not be affected.
Deploy from: edit .vscode/settings.json in your local project and add "appService.deploySubpath": "./folderToDeploy"
Deploy to: In the Azure Portal go to your app service. Under Configuration / Application Settings add a new Application Setting with name SCM_TARGET_PATH and value ./folderToDeployTo
Using VS Code right+click deploy will deploy the contents of the folder. I was able to work around this by adding Azure as a remote branch and using .gitignore. I placed my json file inside a random folder (content/json) then placed /content/json in my .gitignore file.
