I am having trouble deploying a Flask application on a shared hosting server using cpanel. The home page (subdomain.domain.com) is loading correctly, but when I click on other links such as "Contact Us" or "About Us (subdomain.domain.com/about-us)," I am getting a "404 URL Not Found" error.
The project structure is as follows: the root folder contains a "website" folder, which contains a "Templates," "static," "init.py," "views.py," and "auth.py" files. Additionally, there is an "app.py" and "passenger_wsgi.py" file in the root folder.
in templates i am using {{ url_for(‘views.aboutus’) }} My home page is loading but if i click on other pages i am getting 404 url
my question is similar: Python flask app routing in cpanel: can only access root url
any answer is not working for me
this is my project structure:
|-->root folder
|--->website
|-->Templates
|-->static
|-->__init__.py
|-->views.py
|-->auth.py
|-->app.py
|-->passenger_wsgi.py
i tried to change .htaccess file but still it is not working
This is my .htaccess file:-
# DO NOT REMOVE. CLOUDLINUX PASSENGER CONFIGURATION BEGIN
PassengerAppRoot "/home/user/public_html/subdomain.domain.com"
PassengerBaseURI "/"
PassengerPython "/home/user/virtualenv/public_html/subdomain.domain.com/3.8/bin/python"
PassengerAppLogFile "/home/user/public_html/subdomain.domain.com/error.log"
# DO NOT REMOVE. CLOUDLINUX PASSENGER CONFIGURATION END
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE]
RewriteRule ^(static/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
passenger_wsgi.py file:
import os
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(__file__))
from app import app as application
app.py file :
from website import createApp
app = createApp()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
init.py file inside the website folder:
import os
from flask import Flask
def createApp():
app = Flask(__name__)
# static folder route
app.static_folder = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'static/')
# temlates folder route
app.template_folder = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'templates/')
from .views import views
from .auth import auth
app.register_blueprint(views, url_prefix='/')
app.register_blueprint(auth, url_prefix='/auth/')
return app
and my views.py is:
from flask import Blueprint, render_template
views = Blueprint('views', __name__)
@views.route('/')
def home():
return render_template('index.html')
# return "<h4>Hello</h4>"
@views.route('/about-us',methods=['GET'])
def aboutus():
# return render_template('about.html')
return "<h4>Hello</h4>"
@views.route('services/')
def services():
return render_template('services.html')

I just updated my .htaccess file and it resolved the issue
I think I can help you.
Change your passenger_wsgi.py file to:
and change app.py to:
This is because WSGI software usually used to run Python on servers requires the main application variable to be called application. Of course this depends on the hosting server.
I hope this helps
