Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 Cloudflare proxy detected , But the website is not displayed.

• 🧵 Subdomain Cloudflare Issue

• 🧵 Custom WWW Domain - Not Found Message

• 🧵 Cloudflare Proxy

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Hey, can you try to remove the domain from your service, delete the CNAME record and readd your domain to your Railway service?

I had a similar problem, I disabled the cloud flare proxy and it worked.

Which one do you disable

disable the 2, domains and the www, then you can test if it works

I don't see any deploys in that linked resource?

What do you mean?

Nevermind, I forgot to redeploy! I can see the site now thnak you !!

I am sturggling tho when I am on a different route like website.com/about, and I reload, it says "Cannot GET /about"

@sydneypatel you'll need to share more details about your website's deployment - e.g. is it a static site, a webapp, if a webapp, which framework, what's the build process, etc.

We can't debug HTTP issues like this without more information. Also, what is the HTTP error code you're seeing for Cannot GET /about - is it a 404, or something else?

• Type: Web app (SPA)

• Frontend: React + Vite (dev server on localhost:5173)

• Routing: React Router (client-side History API)

• Backend/API: Node.js + Express (e.g., localhost:8080)

• Database: MongoDB (Mongoose)

• Dev setup: Two servers

  • Vite serves the SPA and proxies API/static to the backend

  • Example Vite proxy: '/api' and '/uploads' → http://localhost:8080

• Build process:

  • frontend: vite build → outputs /dist

  • backend: plain Node/Express; in prod we serve the built SPA (or use Nginx)

  • custom build command: npm install --prefix frontend && npm run build --prefix frontend && npm install --prefix backend
    
    Error message: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

Does the /about view work in your local environment / server? And it's just failing in Railway? Or does it not work locally either?

I was able to get it to work. Now I am jsut having an issue where my page contents are no longer appearing but trying to figure that out. I am thinking it may be something to do with my frontend still pointing at the Railway host

Does your app still return a 404 when you reload a non-base path like /about or /products?

If you're serving the frontend through Express, you need to add a catch-all route

so that unknown (from the server’s perspective) routes are redirected to React Router.
https://medium.com/%40marwan.zaarab/deploying-a-react-app-with-multiple-routes-using-express-static-files-e3373c53fe94

I’d also recommend deploying frontend and backend as separate Railway services.

This way, you can manage them independently and avoid coupling your static build with the API.

Please, answer with more details about your deploy process, maybe i could help

Yes I added a catch-all route. Now, I am just missing a lot of the data form those pages

Can you share your browser devtools > network tab?

Hey, is the domain pointing correctly?

the website loads fine for me

Yes the domain is poointing correctly

This is the devtools for the portfolio page

expanded

I noticed you're requesting http://localhost:8080/api/portfolio and it shouldn't happen on production, change api address to correct one, maybe you just forgot to change some .env variable ;)

What would be a correct API variable? and wdym by changing an .env variable?? which one

thanks for your response!
