create-react-app npm run build command
<p>I have a built a small React application with <strong>create-react-app</strong>, and it runs fine from the local server after running <code>npm start</code>. OK so far.</p>

<p>However, when I run <code>npm run build</code>, the process appears to execute correctly (creates build folder, which contains the bundled js file and the index.html file), but when I open index.html in my browser it renders nothing. What am I missing?</p>

<hr>

<p><strong>Aside:</strong> I also tried uploading it to a remote server and when I went to the URL the browser came back with...</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>...if anyone has any idea how to resolve this I'd also appreciate it.</p>
