Is the public directory at the root of the repository? Can you share a link to the public repository you are deploying from?

Thank you for the response here is a link

I presume (as you have not provided the build settings you are using) the base directory is set to the root of the repository?

The issue is the front-end you are (I assume) trying to deploy is in the directory frontend. So setting the base directory to frontend will solve the issue of not finding public/index.html (which resides in the frontend directory.)

If you are also wishing to deploy server.js, that won’t work on Netlify as outlined in

Another thing to note is the hard-coded http://localhost:4000 in several fetch commands. That also won’t work when deployed to Netlify.

Ok thank you for the response il get that changed and I was unaware about your guidelines regarding the server.js il have a read into that shortly
