The Admin panel and none of the pages created through the CMS are not being rendered in prod

I have a NextJS + Payload CMS app being deployed on Vercel. It is based on this starter template:

https://github.com/payloadcms/nextjs-custom-server

.



I'm not sure if this issue is because of the environment variables, but I have the same as the one in my local (

http://localhost:3000

is the value of

PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL

and

NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL

). I tried setting both of them equal to

https://payload-nextjs-practice.vercel.app

which is the prod URL, but it didn't work.



I validated the

MONGODB_URI

and

PAYLOAD_SECRET

variables, and they're all the same both in my local and in prod.



This is the log from Vercel when trying to go to

/admin

in prod:

    Not super familiar with vercel but



    You set your server url initially to localhost:3000



    but then you used

    https://payload-nextjs-practice.vercel.app


    Are you pointing it at port :3000 on vercel

    In prod I'm pretty sure you have to run the build command first then add a new variable NODE_ENV=production

    It's possible they aren't running with payload prod instance with npm run serve



    Which then wouldnt include that prod env

    @Juan Sebastián Mendoza vercel does not host custom servers, you would have to host this approach another way - like DigitalOcean. There are a couple other ways to host Payload, we have our newly released cloud platform that you could try, we also released our serverless approach that can be deployed on vercel alongside NextJS



    Cloud:

    Serverless approach:
