Vite Manifest Not Found

Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. **Install Dependencies**: Make sure all necessary dependencies are installed. Run the following command in your project directory:

npm install

2. **Build the Assets**: You need to build the assets using Vite. Run:

npm run build

This command generates the production build and should create the `manifest.json` file.

3. **Check the Vite Configuration**: Ensure that your `vite.config.js` is correctly set up. The output directory for the build should match where Laravel expects it. By default, it should look something like this:

export default {
       build: {
           outDir: 'public/build',
           manifest: true,
           // other configurations...
       },
   };

4. **Check Permissions**: Ensure that your web server has the appropriate permissions to write to the `public/build` directory. If you’re using Linux, you can adjust the permissions with:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/public/build
   sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/public/build

5. **Development Mode**: If you are running your app in development mode (not using `npm run build`), you should start the Vite development server:

npm run dev

This will serve your assets with hot module replacement, and you won't need the `manifest.json` file for development.

6. **Clear Caches**: Sometimes, Laravel caches can cause issues. Clear the cache using:

php artisan config:cache
   php artisan view:clear
   php artisan cache:clear

7. **Recheck the Build Process**: After making these changes, try running the build process again and verify if the `manifest.json` file is created in the expected location.

If you follow these steps and still face issues, let me know, and we can troubleshoot further!
