This error message is found in your log, this means that in the deploy settings in the Netlify UI your publish directory/build command has been set to build and Netlify can’t find a directory named build in your project.
I would just leave these settings blank unless you need to change them to abide by a certain SSG’s configuration

Hello,

I made the changes in the directory build as suggested, build was successful and now it shows : Page Not Found

Looks like you’ve followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn’t exist on this site.

Back to our site

But the website works well on my local environment.

Thank you,

Could you link to your git repo?

5

link to my repo : https://github.com/pdc-uottawa/PDCwebsite/tree/DevCopy_Krishna

6

Try:

Build Command: npm run build

Publish Directory: /client if that doesn’t work try /client/public

Do you know where to edit these settings?

Hello,
When I tried the build command as npm run build it failed but when I tried it with CI= npm run build it worked, also I used the publish directory: /client/public it is published but the page doesnot show up, nothing when clicked on the link.

Thank you,
Achyuth Krishna

Did you try /client

9
