Question
Subpages of Jekyll-powered static site give 404 on app platform?
I deployed a static Jekyll site on DO App Platform. The site has a number of pages and subpages like /product, /product/product1, /product/product2 etc.
The problem: while the /product page and other top-level pages render great, /product/product1 returns 404 on DigitalOcean app platform, while it works great in local testing.
The permalink is specified like this in product/product1.md
YAML front matter:
permalink: "/product/product1"
I should also note that I didn’t use the DO example project to set up the Jekyll project. DO autogenerated everything when I just pointed it to my Jekyll project branch on Github. Everything else seems to work great, just having a problem with some specific subpages.
Is there anything I need to change in my project to get the subpages to render correctly and not return 404?
