#

thanks for the referrence but do i have to go to my codebase for changing? Is there no option to select or write the subfolder in ui?

#

strangely enough, that docs section leaves out where you would find this setting, its in the service settings, no code changes needed

#

its saying no start command could be found

#

but inside my server folder package,json there is a start command in the script

#

what did you set the root dir to?

azure ravine Oct 17, 2023, 12:15 AM

#

/server

w8 for a minute something is happening

#

#

i think it worked

#

but how can i acces it now?

#

if you havent generated a domain, go into the service settings and generate a domain

#

i recommend taking a look through the service settings, just so you know what settings are available

#

ok but i can see only project settings and normal deployment settings

#

where is service settings

verbal flower Oct 17, 2023, 12:21 AM

#

open the service and then click the settings tab

#

verbal flower Oct 17, 2023, 12:23 AM

#

that is the service settings tab yes

azure ravine Oct 17, 2023, 12:23 AM

#
