login route 404

I am having a weird issue with vite and routes I have this in my App.tsx <Route element={ <Authenticated key="authenticated-outer" fallback={<Outlet />} > <NavigateToResource /> </Authenticated> } > <Route path="/login" element={ <CustomLogin /> } /> </Route> this is supposed to get each non autenticated route , but if I call /login it gives me a 404

Hi @SetiZ. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Your route setup for /login is correct according to Refine's recommended patterns for handling authentication and login routes. The structure you posted:

<Route
  element={
    <Authenticated
      key="authenticated-outer"
      fallback={<Outlet />}
    >
      <NavigateToResource />
    </Authenticated>
  }
>
  <Route
    path="/login"
    element={<CustomLogin />}
  />
</Route>

<Route
  element={
    <Authenticated
      key="authenticated-outer"
      fallback={<Outlet />}
    >
      <NavigateToResource />
    </Authenticated>
  }
>
  <Route
    path="/login"
    element={<CustomLogin />}
  />
</Route>

should render <CustomLogin /> for unauthenticated users at /login, and redirect authenticated users to the default resource. This pattern is documented and works in standard React Router setups with Refine [Usage with Authentication]. Possible Reasons for 404 1. Vite Dev Server and Direct URL Access:
If you are getting a 404 when directly navigating to /login (e.g., refreshing the page or entering the URL in the browser), this is likely due to Vite's dev server not handling client-side routes. By default, Vite only serves files that exist on disk, so direct navigation to /login will result in a 404 unless you configure the dev server to fallback to index.html for all routes. Solution:
Add the following to your vite.config.js:

   export default defineConfig({
     // ...
     server: {
       historyApiFallback: true,
     },
   });

   export default defineConfig({
     // ...
     server: {
       historyApiFallback: true,
     },
   });

Or, if using the newer Vite config:

   server: {
     fs: {
       strict: false,
     },
     historyApiFallback: true,
   }

   server: {
     fs: {
       strict: false,
     },
     historyApiFallback: true,
   }

This tells Vite to serve index.html for all unknown routes, allowing React Router to handle them client-side. 2. Route Order or Parent Route Issues:
Make sure your <Routes> structure is correct and that no parent route is catching /login before it reaches your intended route. The pattern you posted matches Refine's documentation, so unless there are other conflicting routes, this should not be the issue. 3. CustomLogin Component:
Ensure that <CustomLogin /> is a valid React component and is imported correctly. Reference Example This pattern is used in Refine's official documentation and blog posts, for example:

<Route
  element={
    <Authenticated fallback={<Outlet />}>
      <NavigateToResource />
    </Authenticated>
  }
>
  <Route path="/login" element={<AuthPage type="login" />} />
</Route>

<Route
  element={
    <Authenticated fallback={<Outlet />}>
      <NavigateToResource />
    </Authenticated>
  }
>
  <Route path="/login" element={<AuthPage type="login" />} />
</Route>

This works as expected for both authenticated and unauthenticated users [Usage with Authentication]. Summary - Your route structure is correct for Refine. - The 404 is almost certainly due to Vite's dev server not handling client-side routing. - Add historyApiFallback: true to your Vite config to fix direct URL access to /login. If you have already set up the fallback and still see the issue, please check for typos in your route paths or component imports, and ensure your <Routes> structure matches the documented examples [Handling 404s].

@kapa.ai i got an error when I add historyApiFallback: true, option doesn't exist

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources provided do not contain information about configuring Vite's historyApiFallback option or how to resolve related errors. The documentation and examples focus on how to structure routes in Refine and React Router, but do not cover Vite-specific server configuration or troubleshooting for that option. If you need help with Vite configuration, you may want to consult the official Vite documentation or community resources, as this is outside the scope of the Refine documentation. If you have questions about Refine routing or authentication, feel free to ask! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai i only get 404 after build and deploy to server not on local

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The issue you are experiencing—where routes like /login work locally but return a 404 after build and deployment—is a common problem when deploying single-page applications (SPAs) like those built with Refine and React Router. This is not specific to Refine, but rather to how static file servers handle client-side routing. Reason:
After deployment, when you refresh or directly access a route like /login, the server tries to find a physical file at that path (e.g., /login/index.html). Since it doesn't exist, it returns a 404. Locally, your development server (like Vite's dev server) usually handles this for you, but in production, you need to configure your server to always serve index.html for unknown routes, so the client-side router can take over. Solution:
You need to configure your production server (e.g., Nginx, Apache, Netlify, Vercel, etc.) to redirect all requests to index.html unless the file exists. This is called "history API fallback" or "SPA fallback." - For Netlify, you need a _redirects file with:

  /*    /index.html   200

  /*    /index.html   200

- For Vercel, this is handled automatically. - For Nginx or Apache, you need to add specific rewrite rules. This is confirmed in the Refine community, where a user had the same issue and resolved it by adding a redirect rule on their Apache server for in-page links. The Refine team also clarified that this is not a Refine-specific issue, but a deployment configuration matter for SPAs [404 Error in prod but works in dev mode]. Summary:
You need to set up your production server to serve index.html for all unknown routes. This will resolve the 404 errors for client-side routes like /login after deployment. If you need help with a specific server (Nginx, Apache, etc.), let me know! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai on my config I have this for caddy caddy_0.try_files={path} /index.html /index.php does it seems correct?

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources provided do not contain any information about configuring Caddy or the try_files directive for SPA routing with Refine. The documentation and examples focus on React Router, Refine routing, and deployment concepts, but do not mention Caddy or its configuration syntax. If you need guidance specific to Caddy, you may want to consult the official Caddy documentation or community resources. If you have questions about Refine routing or deployment best practices as described in the provided sources, feel free to ask! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai how do I do the rewrite rule with apache or traefik?

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The knowledge sources confirm that when deploying a Refine (React SPA) app, you need to configure your server to redirect all unknown routes to index.html so the client-side router can handle them. This is necessary to avoid 404 errors on direct navigation or page refreshes for routes like /login. Apache:
A user in the Refine community resolved their 404 issue by adding a redirect rule on Apache for in-page links, but the exact rule is not specified in the knowledge sources. The documentation does confirm that such a redirect is required for proper SPA routing [404 Error in prod but works in dev mode]. However, the specific Apache or Traefik configuration is not detailed in the provided sources. Traefik:
There is no information in the knowledge sources about Traefik rewrite rules or configuration for SPA routing. Summary:
The knowledge sources confirm the need for a rewrite rule but do not provide the exact configuration for Apache or Traefik. For precise configuration, you will need to consult the official documentation for those servers. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
