Host react application on Apache server

Step 1 : Create your app

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

Step 2 : Build it for production

$ cd my-app
$ npm run build

Step 3 : deploy

• 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]

or edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

<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.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride All

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

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Host react application on Apache server

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 works for me

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
