Specifically, if a user navigates to any page besides the home page and refreshes the page, the default Netlify 404 renders. From the 404 page, if I navigate back to the home page and refresh, the home page is rendered.
So as suggested by that link, I added a _redirects file inside the /public folder like /public/_redirects. I then pasted /* /index.html 200 into the _redirects file. I did all that in my VS Code, after which I pushed to github and then ofcourse my netlify re-deploys automatically everytime I push to github. My problem was solved and refresh nolonger brings the 404 error.
Note:Some articles say that you need to add _redirects in the build folder, but then build folder is not among what gets pushed to github in my case, so that's why adding _redirects to public folder worked better for me, as the public folder can be pushed along with my code.
Remove _redirects from your public folder and move netlify.toml to the root of your git repo, more info. Also remove from build script && cp build/index.html build/404.html - you don't need that any more
I had the same refresh issue in netlify. For me it was a series of changes. I had before my react configuration pointing to a subfolder (/sandbox/appfolder) to use in my hosting sandbox (I hope I can revert to that changing the parameters below). To be able to do a continuous deploy in netlify I did the following inspired in other answers. When using my own hosting sandbox, I didn't have the _redirects and the homepage pointed to the subfolder.
faced this same issue previously, founded that it was because of the proxy that I was using to connect to my backend server. Let's say the backend app is located at this URL example.com. So, instead of mentioning this as a proxy field in package.json, I would suggest putting the link in your functions only.
If, using redux then in put your backend url in actions with axios or fetch. (Also, try deleting the package-lock.json file and then push the code without it on your Github and then connect it to netifly and then re-deploy your site)
In my case I added the _redirects file and that did not work. I played with my CI settings again and in my build command I wrote CI = npm run build but then in the Public Directory field I wrote build and then triggered a redeploy and my site finally worked!
I tried the _redirects file and the netlify.toml updates but was still getting the 404. For me, the fix was to update the Build Settings on netlify.com. I think changing the Publish Directory to ./build was the fix:
By the way, I followed some suggestions on stack/elsewhere to add a tag in my index.html file, and also to update the homepage in my package.json. Neither of these things helped and may have also messed up my fetch requests. (just in case anyone else was having similar issues)
I have a Panasonic Blu-ray player that has Netflix on it. I set it up a few months ago and it has worked fine for streaming movies and viewing my Netflix instant queue. But recently I've started getting error messages when trying to access Netflix. "Cannot connect to netflix, please try again."
Occasionally a Netflix client such as a Blu-ray player or TV can get "confused" about its account authorization. When this happens, you may start getting error messages when you attempt to access Netflix on a device that was previously working fine. This can happen on an LG or Sony or Panasonic or Samsung or VIZIO Blu-ray player or web-enabled TV, or on the ROKU streaming box or Apple TV (among others). The message you get can vary but may be one of these:
This procedure is also helpful if you are getting rid of a Blu-ray player or TV that you've previously set up for Netflix and you want to remove your account from the device. It used to be possible to manage devices online in your Netflix account but they've since disabled that feature. Currently if you want to remove a device from your Netflix account online, you have to disable *ALL* of the devices and add them back in one at a time.
But there is a way to break the link to your Netflix account from the actual device itself. To do so, get into the Netflix screen on that device (or the Netflix error screen, as the case may be), then using your device's remote, hit the following buttons:
Go back into Netflix on that device again and you will then need to re-authorize the device with your Netflix account. This may require an activation code and a trip to www.netflix.com/activate to enter that activation code, or it might just entail logging into Netflix from the device using your account e-mail address and password. The procedure for activating a new device for Netflix varies a bit from device to device. But once it has been re-authorized, the error messages should be gone and the device should work properly again.
6/14/13 - happening again: big surge in interest in this topic suggest a Netflix network outage. I can confirm the same problem trying to access Netflix from my phone. A Netflix network outage is likely culprit.
One way to monitor how Google perceives the HTTP status codes on your site is to use Google Search Console. You can view 300-, 400-, and 500-level status codes in the Coverage report:
While they may seem confusing or intimidating on the surface, HTTP status codes are actually very informative. By learning some of the common ones, you can troubleshoot problems on your site more quickly.
HTTP status codes are extremely important for SEOs as they allow you to know what happens between a server and a browser. Some status codes suggest the successful delivery of the content, while others indicate an error.
A great amount of applications are using Restful APIs that are based on the HTTP protocol for connecting their clients. In all the calls, the server and the endpoint at the client both return a call status to the client which can be in the form of:
In both the cases, it is necessary to let the client know so that they can proceed to the next step. In the case of a successful API call they can proceed to the next call or whatever their intent was in the first place but in the case of latter they will be forced to modify their call so that the failed call can be recovered.
To enable the best user experience for your customer, it is necessary on the part of the developers to make excellent error messages that can help their client to know what they want to do with the information they get. An excellent error message is precise and lets the user know about the nature of the error so that they can figure their way out of it.
Next step is to know what error messages to integrate into your framework so that the clients on the end point and the developers at the server are constantly made aware of the situation which they are in. in order to do so, the rule of thumb is to keep the error messages to a minimum and only incorporate those error messages which are helpful.
If you would ask me 5 years ago about HTTP Status codes I would guess that the talk is about web sites, status 404 meaning that some page was not found and etc. But today when someone asks me about HTTP Status codes, it is 99.9% refers to REST API web services development. I have lots of experience in both areas (Website development, REST API web services development) and it is sometimes hard to come to a conclusion about what and how use the errors in REST APIs.
There are some cases where this status code is always returned, even if there was an error that occurred. Some believe that returning status codes other than 200 is not good as the client did reach your REST API and got response.
Return 404 not found status.The first solution opens up a question whether the user should work a bit harder to parse the json received and to see whether that json contains error or not.
Error responses should include a common HTTP status code, message for the developer, message for the end-user (when appropriate), internal error code (corresponding to some specific internally determined ID), links where developers can find more info. For example:
No matter what happens on a Facebook request, you get back the 200 status code - everything is OK. Many error messages also push down into the HTTP response. Here they also throw an #803 error but with no information about what #803 is or how to react to it.
Twilio does a great job aligning errors with HTTP status codes. Like Facebook, they provide a more granular error message but with a link that takes you to the documentation. Community commenting and discussion on the documentation helps to build a body of information and adds context for developers experiencing these errors.
First of all: Use HTTP status codes! but don't overuse them.
Use HTTP status codes and try to map them cleanly to relevant standard-based codes.
There are over 70 HTTP status codes. However, most developers don't have all 70 memorized. So if you choose status codes that are not very common you will force application developers away from building their apps and over to wikipedia to figure out what you're trying to tell them.
Always make proper use of the HTTP response status codes as specified by the rules in this section. In particular, a REST API must not be compromised in an effort to accommodate less sophisticated HTTP clients.
I think that this solution can also ease the client to handle only these 4 status codes and when getting either 400 or 500 code he should take the response message and parse it in order to see what is the problem exactly and on the other hand the REST API service is simple enough.
The decision of choosing which error messages to incorporate and which to leave is based on sheer insight and intuition. For example: if an app and API only has three outcomes which are; everything worked, the application did not work properly and API did not respond properly then you are only concerned with three error codes. By putting in unnecessary codes, you will only distract the users and force them to consult Google, Wikipedia and other websites.
