Parcel/React App works in localhost but not on server

I have a Parcel/React App that I am attempting to launch to production. After testing, I see that my navigation no longer works on the server (404s).

I'm using React Router like so:

<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
  <Router primary={false}>
  <Home path="/" />
  <About path="/about" />
  <Portfolio path="work" />
  <Contact path="/contact" />
  </Router>
</Suspense>

I added homepage to my package.json as suggested in another thread, but still no luck. 

"homepage": "."

I don't have any experience with IIS manager or anything like that so I am hesitant to make any server changes there, especially since I have other websites on the same server.

Is there anything that can be done in the code/build to make this work on the server, or will it require IIS changes?

Here is my package.json:

Solution

  • If you imported BrowserRouter change it to HashRouter instead and see if that helps.
