        "modules": false,
        "targets": {

This is my prod.js (production config)

let pathsToClean = [

let cleanOptions = {
  root: __dirname,
  verbose: false, // Write logs to console.
  dry: false
}

module.exports = merge(baseConfig, {
  mode: 'production',

  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      new UglifyJsPlugin({
        cache: true,
        parallel: true,
        uglifyOptions: {
          compress: false,
          ecma: 6,
          mangle: true
        },
        sourceMap: true
      }),
      new OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin({})
    ]
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, "css-loader"]
      },
      // Scss compiler
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        use: [
          MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
          "css-loader",
          "sass-loader?indentedSyntax"
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  performance: {
    hints: "warning"
  },
  plugins: [
    new CleanWebpackPlugin(pathsToClean, cleanOptions),
    new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
      filename: "assets/css/[name].[hash:4].css"
    }),
    new FilterWarningsPlugin({
      exclude: /mini-css-extract-plugin[^]*Conflicting order between:/
    })
  ]
})

after copying the dist folder i expected it work as web page without error

You did not provide any error context or stack trace, so I will need to guess: "@babel/react" preset is probably omitted during the build, so JSX hasn't been transpiled to valid JavaScript syntax.

Reason is: You included babel config twice - once in base.js config under babel-loader options, once in .babelrc. In this case options takes precedence and .babelrc is omitted.

I assume here, that .babelrc is the "complete" config, so remove options entry and update your Webpack module config:

rules: [
  {
    test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
    exclude: /node_modules/,
    use: {
      loader: "babel-loader"
    }
  }
];

I did moudule config in my base.js.

after many tries i can find the point, it is related to apache server configuration.

the htaccess file should be like this :

    Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]

and in apache2.conf i should point the working directory directly to the source html files like this (the contents of dist folder copied in "/var/www/html/")

<Directory /var/www/html/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride all
        Require all granted
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
</Directory>
