Anyone got any advice for deploying to siteground hosting, I have tried so many things even host says it should work but still have error 404
Need more information about your app.
I have built website landing page and apps in replit, they all work in replit, when i upload the file to siteground i cant get webpage or apps to run, replit agent tries a number of ideas, siteground agent suggests possible issues and siteground support have confirmed the DNS is pointed to the public.html. Tried a simle HTaccess file, tried going directly to the domain/index fileall return a 404 error consistantly, also flushed cache numerous time
So you’ve built static HTML sites in Replit, downloaded them and uploaded to Siteground?
yes, but still get the 404 error when accessing the domian
I am willing to pay someone if thats whats needed, to teach me how to resolve this issue, I have a number of app built and this gap is preventing me from moving forward
The question I have is why are you deploying to Siteground instead of just launching on Replit native? So much easier. Very inexpensive.
I agree with @realfunnyeric. You could deploy and host on Replit for less than SG at this point. However, if you have a strong reason you want to host it on SG, then why it doesn’t work could depend on many factors. I’ve always viewed SG as a traditional host, not necessarily an app host, however, I haven’t done anything over there in a while. One thing to look at is what your index file is and is your host settings pointing to the right file?
Forgot to add - if you are just making a static site - Replit works amazingly well for that right now. Even if you built it with Agent. I have done this multiple times. It is possible to deploy a static site on Replit even if Agent built it.
You would be much better suited to abandon Siteground for any repl apps you make. Life will get much easier, more secure, more fluid. Replit deployments are first rate!
ok thanks for the feedback,
I wanted it deployed on my website, I know SG isnt the best but I have paid for it and wanted to use it under business and professional, anyway I’ll keep fumbliing
