Successfully configured and ran grunt build and grunt buildcontrol but getting 404 at username.github.io #33

Closed bmwertman closed 10 years ago

bmwertman commented 10 years ago

As far as I can tell I have successfully configured and ran everything for grunt-build-control. However when I hit the url bmwertman.github.io for my github page I'm still getting a 404 "There isn't a page here". Should I be going through the standard github page deployment process found here https://pages.github.com/? Or some adjusted version of it directing to my gh-pages branch?

robwierzbowski commented 10 years ago

After pushing do you have a gh-pages branch on your github repo?

bmwertman commented 10 years ago

Yep, here is a link to the repo if you would like to have a look. https://github.com/bmwertman/bmwertman.github.io

robwierzbowski commented 10 years ago

Oh, do the .io pages need the main branch to be the built site?

I'm not certain. I'm just learning Angular. I ported my original HTML/CSS site that I had served via Github Pages over to Angular and it was looking good locally.

I then re-named the bmwertman.github.com github repo that had the files for that original site to something else and tried pushing my newly created Angular project into a new repo called bmwertman.github.com. That gave me a 404.

I think you can't serve a Angular project to Github Pages because it puts the index.html in the app.js sub directory instead of the root which Github-Pages seems to want. The dist file that grunt-build control creates seems to structure things in a more optimal configuration with the index.html in the root of that folder. I'm just not sure how to get Github Pages to serve the gh-pages branch with the dist file in it.

Totally. I think these questions might be better posted to the github pages queue or stack overflow. IIRC, pages needs an index.html in root in order to work.

Agree. Thanks for your quick response.

robwierzbowski commented 10 years ago

Any time! Please post back if you find a workaround to the no-index problem.

Just an update. I solved my issue. I was under the impression that Github would be serving the gh-pages branch I had created directly somehow via bmwertman.github.io. The complete URL it was serving was in fact bmwertman.github.io/#/dist. (Facepalm) Crisis averted.

robwierzbowski commented 10 years ago

It should be serving it directly from the root. I think you may be hosting gh pages code on the wrong branch.

The method I'm using now ( The git subtree method found here http://yeoman.io/deployment.html) isn't actually using grunt-build-control. For this project, I'm good with that because it's unlikely I will be changing the page substantially very often. And It's just a portfolio site to point to some of my other work which I'm using my own domain name for so it doesn't result in a strange url.
