I'm a pretty new programmer going through the Firebase tutorial. I have gone through steps 1-5 of the tutorial (https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/firebase-web/#5). I've added the "Add Firebase to your web app" js code to the html file, and set up the Firebase CLI. However, when I run the firebase server, everything seems to work other than it is not showing the code from the index.html file.
I am in the right directory, and my console says "Server listening at: http://localhost:5000." But, at localhost 5000, it shows a generic "Welcome to Firebase Hosting: You're seeing this because you've successfully setup Firebase Hosting. Now it's time to go build something extraordinary!" box rather than the app interface code in the index.html file. It is the only html file in my directory. It seems like I am missing something very simple. Thank you for your help.
The website shown to you is the index.html from your public folder (or whatever you configured it to be in your firebase.json file).
The culprit might be firebase init. It tries to generate a generic index.html file for you. However, in the latest version, it should at least ask you whether or not to override (which it did not in the past!).
The problem is firebase init being unbelievably crude. It just overrides the index.html file that was in your public folder... no confirmation, no safety net, no nothing.
If you lost, or accidentally let firebase init overwrite, your index.html file, you have to re-produce it somehow. If you do not have a backup of or other means of re-producing your index.html file... well... too bad!
How does the firebase CLI work?
Generally, the steps of a firebase setup go a little like this:
firebase login
firebase init
your-build-command-here # (if you have a build pipeline)
firebase deploy
You only need to do Step #1 (login) the first time when you setup building on that machine (or maybe when a new firebase revision has been released)
You only need to do Step #2 (init) to initialize a new project. That is, when you don't have your firebase.json yet (which will be created by the init command).
To re-deploy, it's simply:
your-build-command-here # (if you have a build pipeline)
firebase deploy
I figured out my answer. The index.html file that was being posted was in the "public" file, which was created during the "firebase init" stage. I replaced that placeholder html file with the one for my app.
Firebase hosting not showing up app?
There might be two reasons for this problem
1st step:
Make sure your public folder (define in your firebase.json) 'dist' containing the index.html hasn't been modified by firebase init command, if yes replace it with your original project index.html
for reference (dist is standard but your may different)
{ "hosting": { "public": "dist"} }
2nd step:
Make sure to configure your base href in project's index.html
as
<base href="https://["YOUR FIREBASE PROJECT NAME"].firebaseapp.com/">
and other bundle files as
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://["YOUR FIREBASE PROJECT NAME"].firebaseapp.com/runtime.a66f828dca56eeb90e02.js">
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://["YOUR FIREBASE PROJECT NAME"].firebaseapp.com/main.2eb2046276073df361f7.js">
3rd step run command - firebase deploy
enjoy ! ;)
New projects
when doing firebase init select the directory which contains the index.html as the public directory.
Existing projects
update firebase.json with
"hosting": {
"public": "dist/directoryThatContainsIndexHtml",
......
}
Edited Original Answer: Available in edit history. Only for testing purposes.!! for production, use the updated version. Contents of dist are rewritten on each build so anything you place #dist are gone each time you build.
For anyone else comming across this.

first of all you need to check your index.html after deployment of project. after these command steps:
firebase login
firebase init
firebase deploy
your real index.html file might be overwrite by firebase generic file that's why the problem is occurred. so change code of index.html after deployment of project. if you see this box on your web page
Tip: copy your complete project anywhere in your PC before deployment.
otherwise check your directory for file path your path of index.html is must correct.
In my case when I run the command ng build --prod it created a sub folder under dist folder. Assume my project name is FirstProject. I can see a sub folder called FirstProject inside dist folder (dist/FirstProject).
Give dist/[subDirectory] as your public directory
What do you want to use as your public directory? dist/FirstProject
This solved my issue
For deploying Angular application to Firebase simple and quick tutorial
you can find here.
During the process of firebase init, type N, when the question
"File dist/index.html already exists. Overwrite?" appears, and your page will be displayed as it should be.
In public folder option write dist/your-folder-name.
This will allow you to render your index file which is in your folder.
npm install -g firebase-tools
firebase login
firebase init
firebase deploy
firebase open

When you build your Angular app, at least with Angular 10, by default Angular creates a folder names dist, containing a folder having the name of the application. For example, this example’s app is named blog-front, so when building the project (ng build or ng build -- prod), Angular will create a folder dist, containing a folder named blog-front:
When you reach the firebase init step asking the public directory, your folder's name should be “dist/blog-front” for this example, or “dist/yourApplicationName” as a general rule :
In my case firebase was using the wrong directory, also see here: firebase CLI didn't recognize the current project directory for 'firebase init'. While I was expecting firebase to put all created files into my project directory it was totally disconnected and put all files into my /Users/MyUserName directoy and deploying the wrong index.html from there.
This is how to fix it (no reinstall of firebase needed as suggested in the linked post):
delete all created firebase files from /Users/MyUserName directoy (.firebaserc, firebase.json, index.html and dist-folder)
run firebase init on project directoy
use dist/projectname as public directory
Configure as a single-page app "Yes"
do not overwrite index.html (if you do, make sure to "ng build" again before deploying)
firebase deploy
By the way, for everyone who is using Angular 7, this tutorial about deploying an angular 7 app to firebase hosting was really helpfull to me.
I faced similar situation. When we run firebase init it asks couple of questions. At that time we mention the directory path from where firebase will take all files to deploy.
Make sure that, directory contain index.html.
Delete the index.html which is present in dist folder.
Then run the following commands:
firebase login
ng build --prod
firebase init
firebase deploy
This Worked for me
First Stop the project and follow these steps
npm install -g firebase-tools
firebase login
firebase init
? Are you ready to proceed? Yes
? Which Firebase CLI features do you want to set up for this folder? Press Space to select features, then Enter to confirm your choices. Hosting: Configure and deploy Firebase Hosting sites
? What do you want to use as your public directory? dist
? Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)? Yes
After initialization is completed makesure to delete the created dist file before next steps
ng build --prod
firebase deploy
You are seeing this error because you didn't run the command:
npm run build
make sure you use it before firebase deploy
and also make you are incorrect directory.
execute this after finishing firebase init process.
If you get a public folder with ready index.html by firebase init. You can simply replace that index.html with yours and use the command:
firebase deploy
That should be enough to get it working. Make sure all the files are where they should be!
Working Solution
Just do
flutter build web, then
flutter deploy.
firebase init tries to generate a generic index.html file for you, and if it did that, then you first have to do flutter build web so that the index.html you need is generated, rather than the generic one, and then again flutter deploy
Please follow the step
npm install -g firebase-tools
If you already have a dist folder, remove it from directory
firebase login
ng build --prod
firebase init
firebase deploy
index.html file has that firebase default information.That's why it is showing that information. Copy and paste index.html from your original angular file and paste it to dist index.html. This fixed my issue.
You should add your files to public directory folder before deploy it into firebase server(your app's index file should be there).
My solution is just waiting a bit.
Then, if it still not working.
let try:
Solution 1: check your index.html inside "build" folder and index.html in your own project. They should be the same, if not, copy code index.html outside "build" folder and paste into index.html inside "build" folder.
solution 2 : delete your .firebase folder. and init it again.
=> firebase init
? What do you want to use as your public directory? build < == NOTE: "build" is my directory
? Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)? No <== select NO
? File build/404.html already exists. Overwrite? No <== select NO
? File build/index.html already exists. Overwrite? No <== select NO
After doing these things, I also get that notification of "Welcome Firebase Setting Host Complete" , and I just wait for a while. then reload the website.
Changing the default HTML page name in the public folder to index.html worked for me.
Also, make sure you do not rewrite the index.html when firebase prompts you to in the firebase init step(follow the attached image).
I have my site up and running, but because of number of changes, i decided to publish an updated version. Before doing so i have made backup of my files and databases on the host, just in case.
Now this is what i did: Publish Nop.Web used FTP, configuration is set to release and from file publish options checked Delete all existing files prior to publish, as i was publishing to the same folder wwwroot. After publish was completed NopCommerce installation appeared (btw i would like to use the same db i used before) even tho settings.txt from the project I was publishing had the correct string path. I tried 2-3 times to pass the installation with no success (error: One or more sequence... something like that), checked settings.txt on the host and it was empty (no idea why), but i just edited it with the string path.
Now installation is gone i have my site running again with all the products and user information (i assume that means string path to db is good), but my theme is reseted to default, like all my changes to it (footer links, background, logo, favicon..etc etc) only thing that stayed as it should was the nivo slider widget that has the correct pictures displaying on this 'reseted' theme.
Checked General settings for theme settings if its the correct theme selected.
Also i have noticed this, i assume with those 2-3 unsuccesful install tried i have made some changes in db

Any suggestions how to sort this whole thing, before publishing i was running my site locally and it was good, i have backups of db and files(ones that i used before this publish)
I am using Nop version 3.4 and arvixe hosting. Sorry for my long post but i wanted to describe my steps and error as detailed as possible.
Thanks for reading and looking forward for your suggestions about this.
I haven't tried publishing features of NopCommerce version > 3.10, but you can try a more "manual" approach to make sure that files are properly updated on the server.
In short, you get files from your local machine which are needed for the built website and you upload them to your website folder on the server. You can make a backup and empty the server website folder first.
I presented that approach in this answer:
How to deploy nopCommerce 3.5 to new server from source?
You can check this batch script to see which files need to be sent to the server. The script also includes some suggestions about what else you may need to do to update the website on the server: https://gist.github.com/dan-mirescu/c14cc72e3f8ecca988b7
For Publishing the NopCommerce Application website below is the step:
Step : 1 - Publish the Nop.Web project.
Step : 2 - Publish the Nop.Admin project.
Go to the publish folder where your publish created
Step : 3 - Cut all dll from the Administration and Paste all dll to bin folder which in main bin folder for whole project
Step : 4 - Copy two things from your source project and in App_Data folder Settings.txt and InstalledPlugins.txt which is not published in your publish file so paste this two files in your publish folder in App_Data. (You need to change the connection string in Setting.txt as per your database host).
Step : 5 - Now you need to copy whole plugins folder from your source folder (but remember this plugins folder you need to copy from the Presentation folder not from the main source where the solution file are there.).
Step : 6 - Now your publish have been ready.(now you can deploy on hosting server)
The source for my Jekyll-powered website lives in a git repo, but the website also needs to have a couple large static files that are too large to go under version control. Thus, they are not part of the Jekyll build pipeline.
I would like for these to simply live in an assets directory in the Jekyll destination (which is a server directory; note that I don't have have any control over the server here; all I can do is dump static files into a designated directory) that does not exist in the git repo. But, running jekyll build deletes everything in the output directory.
Is there a way to change Jekyll's behavior in this case? Or is there some other good way to handle this issue?
Not sure this addresses the specific case in the OP, but seeing as how I kept getting to this page when I finally found an answer here, I thought I'd add an answer to this question in case it helps others.
I have a git post-hook that builds my jekyll site in my webhost when I push to my host, but it was also deleting anything else that I had FTP'ed over. So now I've put anything I need to stick around in a directory (external/ in my case), and added the following to my _config.yml:
exclude: [external]
keep_files: [external]
and now files in external/ survive.
If you upload Jekyll's output directory via FTP to your server, you can use a FTP tool that lets you ignore folders.
For example, my own site is built with Jekyll, but hosted on my own webspace, so I'm uploading it via FTP.
I explained in this answer how I scripted the building and uploading process, so I can update my site with a single click.
In my case (Windows), I used WinSCP, a free command-line FTP client, for this.
If you're not on Windows, you need to use something else, but there are probably other FTP tools out there that are able to ignore folders.
To ignore your assets folder in WinSCP, you just need to put this line into the script file:
(the file which contains the actual WinSCP commands - read my other answer for more information)
option exclude "assets/"
Now you can upload your large assets folder on the server once, and it won't be overwritten/deleted when you later update your site via FTP.
I am try to keep separate workspace directory and code directories in my php project and sweating to understand/find how this could be achieved. A couple of revisions back I tried phpStorm and found that it does not provide such feature.
I just want to know if phpstorm 6.0 has this feature or still lacking it ? If possible please help me out.
Work Around
File > Settings >[Directories]
+[Add Content Root] to add external directory
Assuming that you have created project separate from code.Some of the tool might not work
as expected
This works for linux using sshfs, sorry for windows users.
I've created this folder structure in my pc
/mnt/remote_code/code/
And i have to mount code from server like this
sshfs user#server:/var/www/server_code/ /mnt/remote_code/code/
Code from server will be mounted in code folder
In PS I open this directory: /mnt/remote_code/
So, that means PS will create this folder /mnt/remote_code/.idea (indexing and saving all project and ide settings), and keeps the code folder (with remote code inside) without changes.
Hope it help you.
Greetings.
I have a Padrino app which doesn't seem to be aware of its own root path. The app works fine, but when I try to require a file I wrote and put into the models folder, it says it cannot find it. The file is required from within another file in the models folder: DvdActor.rb. I can use any of these paths and it won't find it:
/app/models/file.rb
file.rb
models/file.rb
app/models/fie.rb
...
It will only find it if I use:
"#{Padrino.root}/app/models/file.rb"
Furthermore, the Thnking Sphinx gem will also have problems writing its configuration file or indexing (if I hardcode the path to the config file).
And when I have Padrino generate a Model, it will create a new model folder in the root folder insted of in the app folder itself.
I could recreate my app from scratch and copy the files over but I already have Heroku and git setup, etc. and don't want to recreate all this (sometimes simply copying the files over doesn't work properly).
Is there a way to reset this?
