I’m experiencing problems deploying a Vue JS app built using the Webpack CLi to work.
If uploaded in a root directory everything renders fine, but inside a subfolder, all the links break.
I want deploy VueJS App to this url :
https://event.domain.net/webinar
I have added publicPath in vue.config.js :
var path = require(‘path’)
module.exports = {
publicPath: ‘./’
}
But only the css and js folders point to the path /webinar.
For assets, fonts and others still point to the subdomain https://event.domain.net.
CSS and JS point to path /webinar
Asset, fonts still point to subdomain https://event.domain.net/
Console
use value of publicPath as /webinar that should work.
More details are here https://cli.vuejs.org/config/#publicpath
you can configure publicPath even based on environment.
Sagar Rabadiya pointed you to the right link:
create a file called vue.config.js in the project root (where your package.json is located).
prompt the following code snippet inside:
module.exports = {
publicPath: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'? '/your-sub-directory/' : '/'
}
and save the file.
Open a terminal and navigate to your project, then run npm run build to generate a production build from it.
As soon as the production build has been generated, copy the contents from it and paste it in the sub-directory you created in the root folder. For example, if you use Apache, the default root directory is the htdocs folder. I've also created a virtual host on the server, maybe you also need to do this.
Open the browser and type the address where your sub-directory lives. For example: http://your-server-url:your-port/your-sub-directory/ Your should see your app now.

Problem loading a file using relative path when my node app is initialised using a another node app
I have created an npm which relies on a file stored relative to project root. something like this
index.js
- res
- config.json
Now I read the config.json using following code
const pathToConfig = path.resolve(__dirname, '../res/config.json')
This works great locally.
But in my prod setup this app is initialised by another node app.
And __dirname resolves to root of that app so all my logic to find config.json get messed up.
Is there any way I can read the file without worrying about how node app was initialised?
Have you tried the command process.cwd()? It is almost the same as __dirname but does differ slightly.
I am struggling with the deployment of a Vuejs front-end on my local IIS.
I would like to have my app deployed into a folder named FE_STB which is a sub-directory within my C:\inetpub\wwwroot folder.
Ideally, the URL to access the front-end would be http://localhost/FE_STB/.
In order to do so, I tried the following in vue.config.js:
module.exports = {
// Used to build the path for the css, js
baseUrl: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
? '/FE_STB/'
: '/',
// The folder where the app will be built in the project directory instead of the default dist folder
// outputDir: 'Vue',
};
running npm run build generates an index.html, a favicon.ico, my img, js, css and fonts folders.
The index.html contains link tags such as (<link href=/FE_STB/css/chunk-05c5.672f5bfa.css />) and i thought it was going in the good direction.
However, it keeps returning a
404 not found error
when i try to access http://localhost/FE_STB/.
On the other hand, If I copy only the index.html into the root directory of my IIS installation (wwwroot) instead of the FE_STB subdirectory, and check the http://localhost/ URL, my app appears correctly.
However, when I start browsing the app and hit the refresh button, I get an error. For example, If I am on http://localhost/about/ on my app and refresh it with F5, I will get a 404 error as it’s looking for C:\inetpub\wwwroot\about\ directory which doesn’t exist obviously.
I also tried the web.config and the IISrewrite solutions as explained on the vuejs website or tried to add:
const router = new VueRouter({
mode: 'history',
// To define sub-directory folder for the deployment
base: 'FE_STB',
routes,
linkActiveClass: 'active',
scrollBehavior(to, from, savedPosition) {
return savedPosition || { x: 0, y: 0 };
},
});
in my router.js but it doesn’t change anything.
Any tips or directions would be really helpful.
Thank you

Ok, learning here. Installed the default vue-cli app on AWS. I do a npm run build. When I launch the default index.html I'm served a blank page. If I go into dist, there is another index.html, that serves links to js files, but still a blank page.
I'm guessing webpack wants me to launch an index.html, but don't see how I can hit that with a browser. No errors anywhere. But no Hello World either. thanks for help.
What I'm seeing in the browser:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charset=utf-8><title>hello-world</title><link href=/static/css/app.87e65e7c83fb67c04e58d4461a7fd8e8.css rel=stylesheet></head><body><div id=app></div><script type=text/javascript src=/static/js/manifest.fa7eecfb52900d1cfb0a.js></script><script type=text/javascript src=/static/js/vendor.9baeef453ba99a70f46a.js></script><script type=text/javascript src=/static/js/app.cdfbb21001bbc43de4bc.js></script></body></html>
When you npm run build Webpack should produce an index.html file along with a static/ directory that contains all of your javascript and css. The link to static/ is an absolute link (i.e. http://example.org/static). When you try to open index.html as a file, the browser will look for the /static/ folder on the root of your file system, which of course it won't find.
To run it locally you need to fire up an http server locally. One option is to cd into the directory with a terminal app and run python -m http.server. Then go to http://localhost:8000/. That should work because the root of the directory tree will be the folder from where you are serving it.
Getting it running on AWS S3 will be a matter of making sure you get the static directory in the right place and get the links pointing to it. Hard to say exactly how without knowing details of how you are organizing the site in your bucket.
You can change how the static folder is saved in the webpack config if you need to: https://vuejs-templates.github.io/webpack/static.html
You will find a folder named /dist in your project directory.Just point the index.html file within the /dist directory and rest will work fine I think. I have just done that and it's working fine.
Hope it will work.
Thanks.
I am currently serving angular1 application over node js app.
I want to serve my angular1 app as well as angular2 app from same domain with this node server.
I have following setting in my app.js of node js file:
var staticDir = nodeEnv == 'development' ? path.join(__dirname, '/home/sovf/ang1/') : '/data/project/angular/app';
My angular1 project directory is here: /home/sovf/ang1/
My angular2 project directory is here: /home/svof/ang2/
How can I configure the staticDir to use '/home/svof/ang2/' , when the url matches /ang2/*
I have tried enogh to look for resources and node configuration for this but could not find anything. Can any one please help here.
You can create a new instance of express.static that uses /home/svof/ang2 as root directory (where it should look for the static resources), and "mount" that instance on /ang2, so it will only match requests that start with that prefix:
app.use('/ang2', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/home/svof/ang2')));
My app’s folder structure for NodeJitsu is as follows (i.e., when i do a jitsu deploy, I'm in the folder that contains "server.js" - i.e., the "server" folder).
Root server
|___server.js
|___package.json
client
|___www
|___index.html
|___css
|___js
|___etc.
So at the root is the folder "server", containing the starting script, “server.js”. Then there’s a folder called “client”, parallel to "server", with a folder within that called “www”, and within “www” is the main “index.html”.
In my “server.js” file, I have the following code:
app.get(‘/’, function(req,res)
{
var aPath = path.resolve(“../client/www/”, “index.html”);
res.sendFile(aPath);
});
I don’t have a app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/somefolder'). And when I start the app, I get this error:
Error: ENOENT, stat '/opt/run/snapshot/client/www/index.html'
My process.cwd() is /opt/run/snapshot/package. Obviously the above path isn’t pointing to the location where “index.html” resides. But I thought the way I do the path.resolve(…) should point to “index.html”. I can’t see where the problem is. If “server.js” is in the root, then to get to “index.html”, which is in “client/www/index.html”, then I should need to write “../client/www”, relative to the excuting script, to get to “index.html”, right?.
Do you have any insights as to where the path is not set up correctly? What should /opt/run/snapshot/ be pointing to? Or, what changes do I need to make in the get(‘/’) handler to correctly point to my “index.html”?
EDIT
I incorrectly drew the folder structure. Now it's correct.
I also turned off the app.get() and turned on the app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/../client/www/'). But to no avail: now i get a Cannot GET / error.
What I'm ultimately after is to have the "server.js" file be the Node server that, mostly, just serves AngularJS HTML files to the browser, with attendant images, stylesheets, etc., from the "client" folder. This is the server's main role, with an additional role of authenticating the app's users, employing the very nice Satellizer module. And that's it. I have a MongoDB attached, but otherwise this is a very common and straightforward Node.js server app.
Thanks!
Try it without rooting, resolving and log out to double check:
// notice no leading / which is root. __dirname should be the dir of current file running
var staticPath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../client/www');
console.log(staticPath);
Then pass that into express.static
app.use(express.static(staticPath);
I would probably recommend following the layout and convention of express generated apps with app in the root and static files under public
/public
<static files>
app.js
Then do what the generated app does:
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
