Route configuration issue | Payload | Page 1

When I update the payload config routes for the admin field, the server correctly picks the change up but the application redirects to /admin still. Am I missing something in the configuration?

routes: {
    admin: "/",
},

You have to remove the redirect in the server.ts file.

// Redirect root to Admin panel
app.get("/", (_, res) => {
res.redirect("/admin");
});

Now facing a white blank screen 😬 but that’s one step closer

Hey @mystic sky! Currently, any custom route with a trailing slash will break the admin panel, not just /, so if you had a route like /auth/ you could login, but many other internal routes would break. I think we need to add some joi regex constraints to routes to address the second issue and disallow trailing slashes.

I do think / should be supported. I think this could be done fairly easily with a PR, if you want to give this a shot that would be amazing. I could help point you in the right direction as well. Otherwise we will definitely get around to adjusting this, just not sure when we will get to it at the moment.

Let me open up an issue on GitHub and tag you for direction. I can open a PR for the fix!
