404 issue on my website

[akratzel]

Hi there,

so I have a blog on my website you can reach via https://www.der-kratzel.de/blog - however you will notice that this page returns a 404.

If you go to https://www.der-kratzel.de/ and navigate to /blog with the left navigation, the redirecting works.

I am using @reach-router - might it be an issue with their package or a netlify setup issue?

Did one of you guys ever experience something like that before?

Hi there,

Did you see this guide yet? This is the best place to start for “Page Not Found” issues.

[Common Issue] I’ve deployed my site but I still see "Page not found”

We attempt to serve only /index.html in case you try to load your site without a path, for example: https://yourdomain.name/ The easiest way for you to see what files your build sent us is to download a copy of the deploy, available from the deploy’s logs page as per this screenshot: [image] When you check this, be aware that EACH deploy has this page and icon, so you can download a copy of ANY deploy.

[Common Issue] Direct links to my single page app (SPA) don't work

I have seen people asking on twitter about this. A common question seems to be, “but how do you handle 404s this way?” For single page applications which require all URLs to be routed to this index.html page so that they can handle the routing in JavaScript, that JavaScript logic is going to need to handle the 404s too. This is because the information about what routes resolve to what views is held in the JS. It needs to handle the behaviour for any missing views itself too.

If you are still seeing issues after following the troubleshooting steps in this guide, please let us know!
