Nuxt deploys, but the app is unreachable

If the build passes and the URL still fails, Nuxt 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.

The Node server output reads PORT and HOST from the environment. Make sure nitro.preset is not set to another platform in nuxt.config.ts.

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "nuxt build"
  }
}

Nuxt starts with scripts.start, or node .output/server/index.mjs when no start script exists.

npx ezhst build show

Use the default node-server preset. Presets for serverless platforms do not produce .output/server/index.mjs.

See the Nuxt hub for every Nuxt guide, or free Nuxt hosting for what is included.
