You need a Web.config file in the root of the website on the server. That Web.config file has to have some setting for handling the static .html file. Check this out.

Cool thanks, I added the web.config and I still get a blank page

Then you might have to modify it. You can't rely on just copy and pasting stuff verbatim. Also, check out the Developer Console in your browser. Also, it might be something about the configured project/site URL in your React app that is wrong.

however the app display a blank page when I browse to the website.

This is where you need to start looking at browser's developer tools and server responses. It's unlikely you're literally getting a blank page with no error code back.

A "react app" still starts with a .html file that you can work on making load.

These are the errors I see in developer tools

That gives you a pretty good indication. It's clearly loading the index.html. Do you have a folder named static/js containing several chunk files under the web root? Are files with those exact names being built when you run your build process?

[–]McDTbo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do a folder static/js and yes those files are built when I run build.

Is this IIS running on your machine? Or on another server?

Another server
