Hosting of the Payload web application

in order to run the payload application on the server we need to configure the startup file with following code

This code can be used for normal hosting platforms

// Ensure that the ‘payload.config.js’ is in the correct directory

const payloadConfig = require(‘./dist/payload/payload.config.js’);

// Start the server

const app = require(‘./dist/server.js’);

// Check if server.js exports a function to start the server

const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.listen(port, () => {

console.log(`Server is running on port ${port}`);

});

Otherwise the following code can be used for the configuration on the server

Require(‘.dist/server.js’);
