How to Fix “Page Not Found” Error When Deploying a Replit Project to Netlify
In this video, I’ll show you how to fix the “Page Not Found” error when deploying a Replit project on Netlify. If your Netlify deployment completes successfully but shows a 404 error, this quick fix can help resolve the issue.
I explain how to update your Replit project to make it deployment-friendly for Netlify by checking the framework, build tool, production build, and correct output folder. You’ll also see how to use a simple prompt inside Replit to automatically adjust the project configuration before redeploying it on Netlify.
This tutorial is useful for anyone deploying frontend or full-stack projects from Replit to Netlify and running into routing or build output issues.
PROMPT:
Make this project deployment-friendly for Netlify.
Check what framework/build tool it uses (Vite / CRA / plain HTML / Next).
Ensure there is a working production build:
npm install
npm run build
Make sure the build output folder is correct:
Vite → dist
CRA → build
Next export → out (only if using static export)
Add Netlify config:
create netlify.toml with:
build command: npm run build
publish directory: correct output folder
If it’s a SPA (React Router), add redirects so refresh/deep links work:
either public/_redirects with /* /index.html 200
or add the redirect rule in netlify.toml
If the project is backend/server-based (Express), refactor so frontend is static and backend uses Netlify Functions, or clearly explain that Netlify can’t host a long-running server.
