404 on route if navigate directly to it but works fine if start from home

[Tuan Anh Tran]

I'm not sure where the problem is

suppose that i start at mydomain.com, the subsequent url loads fine (mydomain.com/about).

However, if i navigate directly to it, i got 404 (from nginx). I use nginx to serve the build directory from pwa build

Depends on what you've done.

Did you export? Aka, do you have a build/about/index.html file?

If so, then the issue is in your nginx config (or equivalent).

If not, then you need to use a file server like sirv-cli. I include it by default in init templates. You need to make sure you have the --single flag attached.

@lukeed sirv-cli works for me. do you know what kind of configuration i need for nginx to make it work with spa?

Great! I haven't configured nginx in a long time, but this looks correct to me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7027636/nginx-send-all-requests-to-a-single-html-page

Lemme know how that goes / please post a solution if that wasn't it

Thanks!
