Hello @f777c7a1c03e430f98add935e40ebb

On top of what has already been mentioned you can double-check your routing and make sure the paths are not related to your localhost configuration. I’ve had a similar issue in the past which was an easy and quick fix.

Hi there,

Did you deploy your React app as a static site or as a web service?

Also is your project open-source? If so would you mind sharing a link to your GitHub project so I could try deploying this as well to further troubleshoot the issue?

I personally usually use the following steps when deploying React apps to the DigitalOcean App Platform:
