I have tried many other option to try solve my issue before coming here to ask.
basically my issue is that I can’t figure out why when I name my .html file any other name than “index.html” or “home.html” it will not work. it will show me that the deployment was successful, but when i preview the page its 404 page not found. But if I name it index.html or home.html it will preview the page and work just fine as if I ran it locally.
I’ve double check that my builds and directory are correct. That my codes are all link properly from my html to css and to js. repo is updated, all works fine. The entire thing crashes only when I change it to a file name like “portfolio.html” and push that ONLY change, then will everything fall apart.
I’ve tried asking chatGPT for solution, read bunch of forums, documentation, and other informations from netlify. But I can’t find anything to help me understand this issue.
for now I’m forced to run it with my .html file named as index.html. the css and js can be named whatever. Just the html naming has issues. I wanna know the issue because I think this will be a bigger issue in the future if I don’t try to figure it out.
Please help me figure out what I’m doing wrong.
