I have been creating this website for a few weeks now (I am fairly new to web-dev) and have just recently made a repo (on Github) for it.

Link:

https://github.com/Lathryx/TopShelf-Recipes

I want to deploy with Netlify however I am unable to. Netlify continuously gives a 404 error on the site(s) that I create. I think it has something to do with the publish directory but I'm not sure. I want it to open to landing.html.

The few times I have tried to deploy now I have tried:

  • No build command/publish directory.
  • No build command and the publish directory set to TopShelf Recipes (have also tried /TopShelf Recipes).
  • No build command and the publish directory set to TopShelf Recipes/landing.html.
  • No build command and the publish directory set to /TopShelf Recipes/landing.

I really don't know what to do. Does anybody know why this is happening?

The netlify/my-first-netlify-deploys demo project shows files with a netlify.toml to adtually generates the files.

Result: https://playwith.netlify.app/

But if there are no generation involved, then said files should be directly at the root folder of the repository, not in a subfolder.

Thanks. As you can see on my repo (github.com/Lathryx/TopShelf-Recipes) I put all of the files in the root and it has yet to work! :(
Did you follow netlify.com/blog/2016/10/27/… (it might have changed since 2016 though)
It was actually just because the landing page has to be index.html. Mine was landing.html (as you do). Thanks for the help, though! ^-^

The landing page of your site must be titled index.html (as I’ve found), this fixed it for me. Mine (originally) was titled landing.html.

I will keep this in mind in the future.
