Hi there! I’ve been getting this error: “Page Not Found  
Looks like you’ve followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn’t exist on this site.”  
whenever I refresh anything that’s not my deployed web’s base URL " / ". I guess it must be something about the routing but I could not find out exactly what ☹

Here’s the website address:

> **[Exelsus](https://exelsus.netlify.app/)**
>
> Oncología clínica

And this is my App.js file

hi there, did you see this guide already?

it might be applicable to your use case:

> Last reviewed by Netlify Support - August, 2023 If you’re building a Single Page Application (SPA), or an app that manages its own routes (url paths), you’ll want to add a \_redirects file to your [publish directory](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/overview/#definitions-1) with the following line to take advantage of browser history pushstate: /\* /index.html 200 You can read more information in our docs, which can be found [here](https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/rewrites-proxies/#history-pushstate-and-single-page-apps).

Hi Perry, thanks for your quick response  
This and :

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteBase /  
RewriteRule ^index.html$ - [L]  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-l  
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]

in my .htaccess file did the trick! Thank you!
