Routes without index files

[special-character]

I took out index files I have for non-supported routes but now those routes show the file structure instead of using the 404 page when I visit them.

ex structure:

pages/log/today -> valid
pages/log -> invalid

I took out pages/log but it doesn't show the 404 page when I visit /log. Does anyone know why it shows the folder structure?

Share screenshot of your structure please

This was the original structure:

I removed the index.tsx file directly under the log folder. So /log now effectively points to nothing in the file structure. I thought that would cause a 404 but I seem to be wrong.

Is this happening locally? Or on your server? If it is on your server, what hosting are you using?

I tested out this locally and going to localhost:3000/log results in a 404.

@jamesmosier This is just happening on the server and not locally. I bet you are correct. This might be related to deploying with Vercel.

Yeah the UI you posted looks like it is from serve which was created by Vercel so it is likely just something that is happening there were Vercel is catching all unknown routes and redirecting them to the "index" of your server. I'm not sure what settings exist to prevent this though.

Thanks for the help @jamesmosier, I think the fix will probably be in some routing/config/settings with Vercel.
