In release build I can refresh

[Glenn Pierce]

Hi

I have a rust leptos site that when using development trunk serve seems to work fine.
I can navigate to other pages etc. When refreshing the page with the browser button or using the url the page reloads as you would expect.

When doing a trunk build --release
The site loads ok and I can navigate to a different page but when do a reload or hitting enter on the url I get a Not Found error.

My apache is set up just to serve dist directory ie

Alias /dist /opt/redwood/dist
<Directory /opt/redwood/dist>
Require all granted
Options +Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

What could be the issue here. I am probably doing something silly.

That's a common problem of "single page applications". The URL in the browser's location bar is only changed visually. But it never requests that page. Until to trigger some kind of a reload.

Trunk know about this and by default (expect when using the --no-spa flag) returns the main resources instead of a 404, which does the trick.

With nginx you can do the same using:

http {

    server {
        listen       8080;
        server_name  _;
        root   /public;
        absolute_redirect off;

        error_page 404 =200 /index.html;

        location / {
            index index.html;
        }

    }

    types {
        application/wasm wasm;
    }

}

I have no idea about Apache, sorry.
