I have created a React application OptionsReact using typescript and create-react-app. Then I build the application by running
npm run build
I create in IIS a Website OptionsReact and point it to the build folder, application works and I can see it in the browser.
But when I create an Application OptionsReact under an existing Website, the page in the browser is blank, it seems as if the server doesn't run javascript.
any ideas how can I fix it?
To host react application under the site in iis you could follow the below steps:
1)create an application in iis with the build folder.
2)open the index.html page which is located at the build folder.
3)convert all the links as below:
Convert all absolute links to relative ones.
<link href="/static/css/main.584f321a.chunk.css" rel="stylesheet">
to
<link href="./static/css/main.584f321a.chunk.css" rel="stylesheet">
4)assign the iis_iusrs and iusr permission to the site and application root folder (e.g. app2)
5)refresh the site after doing changes and browse the site.
