How to deploy a react app from github on cPanel?

Uploading a React app to cPanel involves a few steps. Here’s a simplified guide:

Build Your React App:
Before uploading, make sure to build your React app. In your project directory, run:

bash
Copy code
npm run build
This creates an optimized production build in the "build" folder.

Access Your cPanel:

Log in to your cPanel account.
File Manager:

Locate and open the "File Manager" in cPanel.
Upload Files:

Navigate to the directory where you want to upload your React app.
Upload the contents of the "build" folder (not the folder itself) into your desired directory.
Configure .htaccess:

If your app uses client-side routing (like React Router), you may need to configure your .htaccess file to ensure proper routing. Create or edit the .htaccess file in the root of your React app and add:
apache
Copy code

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]
Set Up Node.js App (if needed):

If your React app involves server-side logic, and your cPanel has Node.js support, you might need to set up a Node.js application through cPanel’s "Setup Node.js App" feature.
Adjust Environment Variables:

If your app relies on environment variables, ensure they are appropriately configured in your cPanel environment.
Configure cPanel Domains (if needed):

If your React app uses a custom domain, ensure it is configured in the "Addon Domains" or "Parked Domains" section of cPanel.
Final Checks:

Double-check file permissions, especially if your app requires write access to certain directories.
Check the error logs in cPanel if you encounter any issues.
Remember, cPanel is primarily designed for hosting traditional websites, and while you can deploy static React apps easily, more complex apps might require additional considerations. If your app has a backend (Node.js, database, etc.), you might need to consider alternative hosting solutions.
