Hey @nk9, Did you make sure the Next.js Runtime is installed: [GitHub - netlify/next-runtime: The Next.js Runtime allows Next.js to run on Netlify with zero configuration](https://github.com/netlify/next-runtime#manually-installing-the-nextjs-runtime)? It installs automatically in most cases, but if it did not, you might have to manually install it. ---

Thanks for the reply. It looks like the integration is already installed. Any other ideas? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/5/b/5b88ec692aecc10e0cfa32b7ce792529821e5ef4.jpeg) ---

Oooooookay, so I just had another look and _it’s now working_. I didn’t change anything for the last 7 hours, no deploy. But: the site is now working as expected. Is there any way I can determine what happened to fix it? ---

Hi, @nk9. You can [download the deploys](https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/manage-deploys/#download-a-deploy) and that will reveal the root cause. I’ve examined the traffic for the site since it was created. There have been 404s for only three deploys of the site, the three below: [https://app.netlify.com/sites/stirring-churros-252537/deploys/63a39ce34684a50d0ae62482](https://app.netlify.com/sites/stirring-churros-252537/deploys/63a39ce34684a50d0ae62482) [https://app.netlify.com/sites/stirring-churros-252537/deploys/63a39d782460ac13497f3327](https://app.netlify.com/sites/stirring-churros-252537/deploys/63a39d782460ac13497f3327) [https://app.netlify.com/sites/stirring-churros-252537/deploys/63a39ee39d2bde0008e18312](https://app.netlify.com/sites/stirring-churros-252537/deploys/63a39ee39d2bde0008e18312) If you download those three deploys and check the base directory of the zip file, please note that there is no `index.html` file. This is a requirement for the base path of `/` to return a 200 status. I see that both the publish directory and the build command were changed around the time of the deploy that does contain the index.html file in the base of the publish directory. My best guess is those two changes were what fixed this. Please reply anytime if there are other questions about this. ---

OK, that makes sense. Thanks for your help!
