React App not starting in azure app service

Question

I\'ve deployed a simple react app to azure app service and it won\'t start:

How do I get the app to run index.html?

Answer 1

Go to Azure Configuration>General Settings

• If your build folder is at the root of the project

Start up command: pm2 serve /home/site/wwwroot --no-daemon --spa

• If your build folder is inside your client folder, just add the path

Start up command: pm2 serve /home/site/wwwroot/client/build --no-daemon --spa

---

Note:

Make sure your using Azure App Service linux server.

I added --spa add the end to fix the issue of react-router redirect, Using --spa option pm2 will automatically redirect all queries to the index.html and then react-router will do its magic.
