Hello! I'm trying to host a Next.js app on my cPanel web hosting. I’ve created a Node.js application using Node.js version 22.8.0 and uploaded the project (excluding the node_modules folder) into a new directory via the file manager. However, I’m encountering errors when running npm install and npm run build. The Next.js version I’m using is 15.0.4.

package.json

    "scripts": {
        "dev": "next dev --turbopack",
        "build": "next build",
        "start": "NODE_ENV=production node app.js",
        "lint": "eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx -c .eslintrc.json --fix"
    },

In cPanel you can open the terminal and map to that directory and try to run npm install and you can understand better
But npm run build not
That's why I use putty to run the commands.
and i get this

do what this error says: make a new issue on their github providing this log file, and the specs of whatever vm youre building on

Just curious, why are you using a cPanel instead of just hosting it on your own VM?

I don't know to respond to that, I usually use cPanel for Laravel/Symfony projects, so I think I thought its gonna work well for Next.Js too.

Have you tried Vercel?
I would put money on it being infinitely easier to deploy.
(For free, too)
SilverOP
No i haven't. I did not heard about it.
Bighead carp
It's pretty much the standard when it comes to deploying nextjs applications
I seriously suggest looking into it, and maybe thinking about moving away from cPanel
SilverOP
I'll try it right now.
Bighead carp
Also remove that fucking link from your profile

I can see that is only free for 2 weeks, I am right?
Bighead carp

SilverOP
@Bighead carp
Bighead carp
yeah your trial
you're on the premium plan for 14 days
then you default to free
SilverOP
ohh, all right.
Bighead carp
hence why it says 'to maintain access to premium feautres'
SilverOP

@Bighead carp hence why it says 'to maintain access to **premium feautres**'
