I am trying to host my project with Google App Engine and I am unable to get my pages to show up. My package.json looks like this
"name": "final",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.html",
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js"
}
My app.js looks like this :
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile('/index.html');
});
// Listen to the App Engine-specified port, or 8080 otherwise
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server listening on port ${PORT}...`);
});
When I deploy, the page just says Not Found and gives me a 404. Is there something I need to do with my index.html and subsequent .js files it uses or is my entire directory uploaded whenever I deploy? Error logs give me nothing other than the 404.
You need to specify the full path of index.html
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '/index.html'));
});
// Listen to the App Engine-specified port, or 8080 otherwise
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server listening on port ${PORT}...`);
});
