Upload .htaccess file

After deploying your site with the local build method, you need to upload a .htaccess file to your server.

Important

After Local Build and Deploy (WITHOUT SEO) you must upload the .htaccess file to your server. If you do not upload the .htaccess file, your web pages will not open as expected.

*If you are unable to find the .htaccess file in your source code, please enable 'Show hidden files' in your file explorer - it will then be visible.

For Apache Servers​

Upload the .htaccess file directly to your web server's root directory where you uploaded the site files.

For Nginx Servers​

If your server is running Nginx, copy the following code and paste it into your server's nginx.conf file's server block:

# nginx configuration for News Web App
location / {
  rewrite ^/([^/]+)/breaking-news/([^/]+)$ /[langCode]/breaking-news/[slug].html break;

  rewrite ^/([^/]+)/video-news-view/([^/]+)$ /[langCode]/video-news-view/[slug].html break;
