CAP Application getting 404 after deployment to CF

[ChristianSislak]

Hi all,

I was following this tutorial: https://developers.sap.com/group.deploy-full-stack-cap-application.html

After deploying the application to cloud foundry environment, which worked fine so well, I cant open the application. What I get is an: 

Cannot GET /

Do you guys have any idea why this happens?

Hi @ChristianSislak

Is this issue resolved? If so, could you please guide us on how you resolved it? We are currently facing the same issue. We have deployed a CAPM application to Cloud Foundry, and while the application was successfully deployed, we receive the error "Cannot GET /" when trying to access it from Spaces.

Many Thanks in Advance!!

/ is not served when the app is deployed to cloud foundry. Access a served service by the path. 

See https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/node.js/cds-server#toggle-generic-index-page

Hi Dinu, thx, but Im not sure what u meant? I created an CAP application, which is provided in my space. If Im trying to open the application route from the running application space (https://7e1e8b88trial-7e1e8b88trial-cap-space-incident-management-srv.cfapps.us10-001.hana.ondemand....) it dont work and the error appears.

When you run CAP application locally, the server serves a generic index page with the list of services and their paths. This index page is not served in production. When the application is deployed to CF, it is considered in production. Even if the index page is not served, the services are served at the same paths as in development. You will have to replace the hostname in the URL for these services with the URL of the deployed app and access the services.

Add "cds" : { "server": { "index": true } } to the package.json
