Host react application on Apache server

Step 1 : Create your app

$ npm install -g create-react-app 
$ create-react-app my-app

• copy and paste everything in build folder to your server
• edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    ...
    AllowOverride All
    ...
</Directory>

• create a “.htaccess” file in html directory and add this snippet :

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #

Host react application on Apache server

Does anyone know why running React on Apache gives me just a blank screen? I'm not even running something I made, just the demo that is created from create-react-app and then npm build.

Here is my web browser:
https://imgur.com/a/IDlSqMW

The error says that there is a problem in my manifest file. Here are the contents of it.

{
  "short_name": "React App",
  "name": "Create React App Sample",
  "icons": [
    {
      "src": "favicon.ico",
      "sizes": "64x64 32x32 24x24 16x16",
      "type": "image/x-icon"
    }
  ],
  "start_url": ".",
  "display": "standalone",
  "theme_color": "#000000",
  "background_color": "#ffffff"
}

im assuming you added the homepage in the package.json before making the build for example:

"homepage": "http://localhost/build/",

Plz look my code on https://medium.com/@miodragtrajanovic/problem-prikazivanja-react-aplikacija-na-apache-serveru-78044625378f
Sorry other text is on my Serb

Works great. Thanks for sharing.

You should follow these steps:

1. make sure to add "homepage": "http://domain.com/path-where-to-host-app/" to your package.json file
2. Build the project: npm run build
3. copy the content of the build folder to your server directory "path-where-to-host-app"
4. visit your app url : http://domain.com/path-where-to-host-app/ - your page content should display

}

the Icon must stored to public folder or delopmment folder there is all other files of your app. Part who you called start_url get absolute path and this is good. But in package.json file You must write some like this for develop "home":"." or on your host "home":"YourHost"

I've the changes in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
but I needed to run

sudo a2enmod rewrite

to install the rewrite module on apache2

try avoid AllowOverride All
More details about why avoid in https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/howto/htaccess.html

Thank you so much it work for me

can anybody guide regarding adding ssl to react app on apache server?

It's just add SSL to apache, react doesn't influence on SSL

*PS.: By the way take care to React make only safe requests (in HTTPS servers) to avoid lose the "safety icon" on browser

Thanks, for sharing all. it's helpful.

But, exists one more problem. This is port there setup React app. Default is port 3000, but Apache work on port 80, and in configuration for Apache server must set Proximity how you can show React app.

it's working, thankyou

You can see my repository https://github.com/srbin25/Express-react-app , where you can add more componetes in react app and if you run npm start you gete all app on port 80. After command npm init you must make node - express server file like me. There get
// config port of server
const port = process.env.PORT || 80;

And when you run npm start you can get all file who you can copy on your host. But, for image or other file like this you must get here src links for him. Like is img src="http://localhost/path-where-is-your-file/name.ext" .
In this example local host there your need files is folder dist like root folder. That say code from file webpack.config.js
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
},

Thank you so much
it perfectly worked for me

@Miodragt React uses port 3000 for dev mode. For production, you need to build the project, which generates your index.html with .js bundle and other assets. Then, you can make it available through Apache virtualhost and port 80/443.

If you are reading this and it hasn't work for you, all you need to do is to change "private": true to "private": false in your package.json file before you run npm run build and remove the "homepage" object in your package.json as it is no longer necessary.

Can somebody please explain me how to save query string between reloads?

Hello,
I'm trying to host my react app on Namecheap (which eventually uses apache server, knew from google). I'm also facing problem with blank page. How can I fix this? And where should I run those commands which you shared on your documentation? Any idea?

You must in config file change port of 3000 to port 80. This is in server config , there you set express or node. I send to you later some script. Regard Mr. Miodrag Trajanovic Serbia
