Answer 1

Vite looks for a root index.html by default. You can change this behaviour in package.json.

To do this, simply modify the following to suit...

"scripts": {
  "dev": "vite serve ./src"
},

In this example, I've put my entry index.html file inside a src folder. I tell Vite about this via serve, following that with the relevant directory (file path is relative to project root).
