Hello, I am just **beginning** with javascript frameworks and I have 2 questions. * * * **1).** After calling the `ember build --env production`, the system generates the files in the `dist/` folder. **But how can I use them on my website??** After calling the **index.html** file (from “dist /”), **I do not see anything on the screen** (on the server localhost: 4200 result is correct). * * * 2). What keeps the backend of this forum? PHP, .NET? * * * I ask for your understanding and support. L ---

Are you loading index.html via http(s)? If not, that’s probably the issue. You will need a webserver to serve index.html. You can view use your browser’s [javascript console](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/debug/console/?hl=en) to view relevant errors. If you report them back here they will help with debugging. The forum is a [Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/discourse) instance, which is powered by Ruby. ---

If your website is running Apache add this to your public folder: [https://github.com/broerse/ember-cli-blog/blob/21b6db2f7c520244602624a0df3ae80f4f2b10ed/public/.htaccess](https://github.com/broerse/ember-cli-blog/blob/21b6db2f7c520244602624a0df3ae80f4f2b10ed/public/.htaccess) What is your backend? ---

To also answer point 1) `npm install -g http-server` Go to the dist folder and type: `http-server` Then go to `http://localhost:8080/` to see your App. ---

**Thank you all for your reply!** * * * To view the contents of the `dist/` folder, I used web server based on Apache (local and real). With **.htaccess** file (as in php frameworks): RewriteEngine On RewriteCond% {REQUEST\_FILENAME}! -f RewriteCond% {REQUEST\_FILENAME}! -d RewriteRule ^ (. \*) $ index.html [QSA, L] * * * Unfortunately, after the change: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^ index \ .html $ - [L] RewriteCond% {REQUEST\_FILENAME}! -f RewriteCond% {REQUEST\_FILENAME}! -d RewriteRule (. \*) index.html [L] \ **I still do not see anything on the screen** (under ember server everything is ok). * * * **I try to run this example:** [Quick Start](https://guides.emberjs.com/v2.8.0/getting-started/quick-start/) and getting these files on `dist/`: [Zip file from tinyupload.com](http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=45798931903526029171) * * * Apart from instructions in the **Getting Started** , I have to do something else? Thanks. L ---
