vue-router not working after npm run build

Question

I have a vue project and I have installed it using vue cli.

I have installed vue-router and all the routes works fine in npm run dev mode.

The URL is localhost:8000. After that I run npm run build command, and navigate to the url localhost/projet_name this deploying blank page and no routes is working.

I am using windows system and works on wampp server.

If I want to run the project using localhost/projet_name what should I do?

This is my folder structure after running the command npm run build.

webpack.config.js file is:

var path = require('path')
var webpack = require('webpack')

module.exports = {
  entry: './src/main.js',
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist'),
    publicPath: '/dist/',
    filename: 'build.js'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [
          'vue-style-loader',
          'css-loader'
        ],
      },      {
        test: /\.vue$/,
        loader: 'vue-loader',
        options: {
          loaders: {
          }
          // other vue-loader options go here
        }
      },

Answer 1

You must configure your web server to redirect all requests to your index.html file.

For example, you must configure your .htaccess file like this for Apache server:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>

You can also see other server configuration examples here:

This issue exists in template. There is a pull request pending on github.Problem is with path mentioned for build.js in webpack.config.js and in index.html. You need to modify webpack.config.js

from

output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist'),
    publicPath: '/dist/',
    filename: 'build.js'
  },

to

output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist'),
    publicPath: './dist/',
    filename: 'build.js'
  },

and in index.html change <script src="/dist/build.js"></script> to <script src="./dist/build.js"></script>
