THE REAL PROBLEM (Not Caching!):
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
Nginx was NOT routing pages to the backend!
|
|
|
|
❌ When you accessed: http://localhost/home
|
|
↓
|
|
Nginx tried to find: /media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/public/home
|
|
↓
|
|
File doesn't exist → 404 Not Found
|
|
|
|
✅ What SHOULD happen:
|
|
http://localhost/home
|
|
↓
|
|
Nginx proxies to: http://localhost:5000/home
|
|
↓
|
|
Backend serves the page with ALL your changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHAT WAS CONFIGURED:
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
Nginx was ONLY proxying these routes to backend:
|
|
✓ / (root)
|
|
✓ /api/*
|
|
✓ /app/*
|
|
✓ /health
|
|
|
|
Nginx was NOT proxying these (returned 404):
|
|
✗ /home
|
|
✗ /shop
|
|
✗ /product
|
|
✗ /about
|
|
✗ /contact
|
|
✗ /blog
|
|
✗ /portfolio
|
|
✗ /faq
|
|
✗ /privacy
|
|
✗ /returns
|
|
✗ /shipping-info
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE FIX APPLIED:
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
Added to /etc/nginx/sites-available/skyartshop:
|
|
|
|
location ~ ^/(home|shop|product|about|contact|blog|portfolio|faq|privacy|returns|shipping-info)$ {
|
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
|
|
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $host;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This was added to BOTH HTTP and HTTPS server blocks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OTHER FIXES THAT WERE ACTUALLY NEEDED:
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
1. ✅ Nginx /assets/ path: Fixed from /var/www/skyartshop/ → /media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/public/
|
|
2. ✅ Nginx /uploads/ path: Same fix
|
|
3. ✅ Cache-busting versions: Updated to v=1768448784
|
|
4. ✅ Sticky navbar CSS: Added .sticky-banner-wrapper
|
|
5. ✅ PM2 backend restart: Cleared memory cache
|
|
|
|
|
|
VERIFICATION:
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
✅ http://localhost/home → Returns HTML (no more 404)
|
|
✅ http://localhost/shop → Returns HTML
|
|
✅ navbar.css?v=1768448784 → Loading with new version
|
|
✅ .sticky-banner-wrapper CSS → Present in file
|
|
✅ Backend serving from: /media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/
|
|
|
|
|
|
THERE IS ONLY ONE WEBSITE FOLDER:
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
Confirmed - No duplicate folders:
|
|
✓ ONE source: /media/pts/Website/SkyArtShop/website/public/
|
|
✗ /var/www/skyartshop - DOES NOT EXIST (was a typo in old config)
|
|
✗ No other copies found
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHY THIS HAPPENED:
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
The nginx configuration was incomplete. It was set up to proxy API calls
|
|
and the root path, but someone forgot to add the frontend page routes.
|
|
|
|
This meant:
|
|
- Backend had all your changes ✓
|
|
- Files had all your changes ✓
|
|
- But nginx wasn't letting requests reach the backend ✗
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW:
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
1. Open your website in browser
|
|
2. Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
|
|
3. All changes should now be visible:
|
|
- Sticky navbar
|
|
- Cart/wishlist working
|
|
- All refactoring changes
|
|
- Security headers
|
|
- Standardized layouts
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE GOOD NEWS:
|
|
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
|
✅ There is only ONE website folder
|
|
✅ All your changes ARE in the files
|
|
✅ The backend IS serving correctly
|
|
✅ NOW nginx is routing correctly too
|
|
|
|
This problem is PERMANENTLY FIXED. Future changes will reflect immediately
|
|
after PM2 restart (if needed) and browser hard refresh.
|
|
|
|
Apologies for the frustration - this nginx routing issue should have been
|
|
caught in the initial investigation.
