hello, i started this endeavor also, and at the last step of the process for some reason, i get “You need to run strapi start in a Strapi project. Make sure you are in the right directory”
i have installed strapi globally and using v4 and i am using node 14.20.1.
commands used:
NODE_ENV=production npm run build
also npm run build
to be clear i am in a project where there is a strapi project. this error appears on start and build.
Some extra info i was using the same instructions as here: How to Deploy Strapi MySQL on a Traditional Hosting Provider.
not sure if it helps but here is the server.js file that was generated when creating the node app
My guess is that somehow the environment is at fault but not sure about this
