I bundled up one of my projects and it works fine. However when hitting refresh on a route /about, it displays The requested URL /about was not found on this server.. However when I do it on my localhost off a web server it works fine on refresh and forward/back buttons. I'm using react-router for my client side routing.
Heres the client side routing but I doubt its the problem
Router.run(routes, Router.HistoryLocation, function (Handler) {
React.render(<Handler/>, app);
});
And my routes are just there:
let routes = (
<Route>
<Route name = "App" path="/" handler = {App}>
<Route name="About" path="/about" handler = {About}/>
<DefaultRoute name="Projects" handler = {Projects}/>
</Route>
</Route>
);
Heres the APACHE that I think i broke:
<Directory /var/www/>
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
Require all granted
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>
kkotwal.me.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#
ServerName kkotwal.me
ServerAlias www.kkotwal.me
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/kkotwal.me/public_html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Hey this is actually a pretty common thing.
What's happening is you need to get your apache server to ignore any nested paths and just send all requests /* to root instead. That way your front-end javascript can pick up the route on the client-side and display the correct view.
This is sometimes referred to as "HTML5 Mode" in different webservers.
In apache the way you do this is add a rule like the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^ /index.html [L]
What this does is to tell Apache to serve any files that exist, but if they dont exist, just serve /index.html rather than a 404 not found.
In case of laravel, you need to render the same view where all the routes are written for react file. Laravel route is written as:
Route::get('{url}', function () { return view('welcome'); })->where(['url' => '.*']);
welcome blade file is:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="{{ app()->getLocale() }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Laravel</title>
<link href="{{asset('css/app.css')}}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="root"></div>
<script src="{{asset('js/app.js')}}" ></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js file for route
<Route>
<Route name = "App" path="/" handler = {App}>
<Route name="About" path="/about" handler = {About}/>
<DefaultRoute name="Projects" handler = {Projects}/>
</Route>
so every time you refresh on your about route, it will show the welcome blade and its respective routes in app.js file
