React Router redirections not working! Just goes to Netlify 404

I’m using React Router for handling address bar locations.

In the development build, it works pretty well. In Netlify production, this occurs:

  • When not logged in, a known url => Netlify 404
  • When not logged in, an unknown url => Netlify 404
  • When logged in, a known url => Redirection to the url
  • When logged in, an unknown url => Netlify 404

The expected behaviour is:

  • When not logged in, a known url => Login redirection
  • When not logged in, an unknown url => Login redirection
  • When logged in, a known url => Redirection to the url
  • When logged in, an unknown url => Custom 404

Hi, @angel-luis, my best guess is that the client side routing doesn’t work because the following redirect rule is required:

/*    /index.html   200

Because the rule doesn’t exist, the client side routing doesn’t trigger. There is more information about making this rule here:

If adding that rule doesn’t resolve the issue and/or if there are other questions, please let us know.

Hi, still not working.

I think I’ve configured correctly the redirection. In the project root, I’ve created a file called “_redirects” and I’ve added that line.

Ok the problem was that I was putting the “_redirects” file on root directory instead of public. :sweat_smile:
