Astro deploys, but the app is unreachable
If the build passes and the URL still fails, Astro is either not listening where the platform expects or it crashed while starting.
Check the logs
npx ezhst logs --tail 200
An exception here means the app crashed at boot. A missing variable is a common reason.
Check host and port
Standalone mode reads HOST and PORT, which EasyHost sets. If nothing answers, check that the adapter mode is standalone, not middleware.
astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import node from "@astrojs/node";
export default defineConfig({
output: "server",
adapter: node({ mode: "standalone" }),
});Check the start command
Astro starts with node ./dist/server/entry.mjs, set as the start command.
npx ezhst build show
Known cause for Astro
A purely static Astro site has no Node server, so it needs the Node adapter or a small static file server to run here.
