I have my react app running great on my local dev server but it did not work when I dump my production ready files straight into Apache\'s htdocs directory:

Here is

Answer 1

Thank you! This worked for me.

I am pasting my config if you are serving multiple sites (virtualhost) and also SSL certificates (SSL was made with certbot), with redirect http to https

This setting works on Linode / Ubuntu

yoursite.com-le-ssl.conf

  # Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases
  ServerAdmin webmaster@yoursite.com
  ServerName  yoursite.com
  ServerAlias www.yoursite.com

  # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
 DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yoursite.com/public_html 

    RewriteEngine on

    # Browsers will specifically ask for HTML (among other things) on initial page load
    # That is, if the *user* tries to access a *nonexisting* URL, the app is loaded instead
    # but if a webpage attempts to load a missing resource it will return 404.
    # (You can still go to /myreactapp/favicon.ico, but a missing /myreactapp/favicon.png resource won't return 200)

    # if (HTTP_ACCESS.contains('text/html') && file_not_exists(REQUEST_FILENAME))
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} text/html
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^ index.html [last]

    # Any ressources loaded by index.html should behave correctly (i.e: Return 404 if missing)
    RewriteRule ^ - [last]

    AllowOverride None
    Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews 
    Require all granted

  # Log file locations
  LogLevel warn
  ErrorLog  /var/www/html/yoursite.com/log/error.log
  CustomLog /var/www/html/yoursite.com/log/access.log combined
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
