  Using the javascript template specifically I had to go in and manually change the pathing for most of the commands. By default, they lead to 'src/' when the structure of the template was './'

  yeah if you can't find your Payload config, make sure you have an

  env

  variable that points directly to your production Payload config

  
  

  
  

  generally our production start command includes setting the

  PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH

  like so:

  
  

  
  

      "serve": "cross-env PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH=dist/payload.config.js NODE_ENV=production node dist/server.js",

  
  

  
  

  do you have something like this? and if so, is your config truly located where your env is telling it to be found? in the above case, it's

  /dist/payload.config.js
