Netlify is not deploying my site correctly with Hugo

support
1

Hey!
I have recently added Hugo to a site that was already built. What I mean by built is: purchased domain, html files written, repo on github created and published via Netlify. It was originally planned to by very simple and using Hugo would be an overkill but since the site got more and more complex, I decided to add Hugo at the end. So I added Hugo and the website cannot be visited. I don’t exactly know where the problem could be. On my localhost link, I see the site and I can edit it, but when I publish the changes on github, suddenly I see nothing when I visit the site, just a “Page Not Found” error. Any help?

Please help us to help you.

See https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132.

Let us see your code

Include a link to the source code repository of your project, because we really need the context of seeing your templates and partials to be able to help you. It is trivial to do a quick git clone on your repo, then run hugo server in your project, to help you out. On the other hand, recreating your code from screenshots, or sort of guessing at it, is not.

If you can’t share your repository for whatever reason, consider creating a dummy repo that you can share, which reproduces the problem you’re experiencing.

Sorry, here it is: GitHub - pgersl/astropi-hackathon-website

Please post the Netlify build log as well, thanks.

In your Netlify log I see:

8:09:37 PM: Starting to deploy site from ''

I would expect to see something like:

8:09:37 PM: Starting to deploy site from 'public'

I suggest you raise an issue here:
https://answers.netlify.com/c/netlify-support/48

Thank you so much for your replies. Check the repo now, I’ve added a netlify.toml file with just two settings:

[context.production.environment]
TZ = "Europe/Prague"

[build]
publish = "public"

and it works fine now. It’s weird, I’ve never encountered such issue but it’s great I now know ho to fix it. Thank you for your time!

Try to add version of Hugo as well to your Netlify file like

[build]
 publish = "public"
 command = "hugo --gc --minify"

[context.production.environment]
 HUGO_VERSION = "0.105.0"
 HUGO_ENV = "production"
 HUGO_ENABLEGITINFO = "false"

Thanks for the suggestion!
