是否可以将index.html推送到heroku？

Question

I develop a pure front-end app with an index-file called index.html. Everytime I push to heroku, i need to rename it index.php, in order to tell heroku to use php. Is there another way to declare what type of server I want? So that I get to keep my file as an html-file?

Answer 1

You can also just drop an empty composer.json into your project to make Heroku treat your project as a PHP project.

The preference of index.php over index.html comes from the default DirectoryIndex directive that Apache uses on Heroku; it has nothing to do with your browser. To change it, you could drop a .htaccess with DirectoryIndex index.html into your application.

If you just want raw performance for your static site, it's also probably a good idea to use Nginx. The default configuration should be reasonable for your purposes so add a Procfile with web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-nginx to your project along with an empty composer.json (and no index.php) and you're good to go.
