nginx ingress controller ignoring css and js files - google kuberenetes engine

Question

I've created an nginx ingress controller that is linked to two services. The website works fine but the js and css files are not loaded in the HTML page (404) error. I've created nginx pod using helm, and Included the nginx config in the ingress.yaml. The error is raised when I use nginx, I've I run the docker image locally, it works fine. Also, if I made the services' types as a Load balancer, the applications work fine.

![here is the error in the webpage ] 1

here is the GKE services:

You can probably solve your problem by adding additional ingress rules which will route the requests for static files to proper directories. As far as I can see on the attached print screen, your static files are placed in css and js directories respectively, so you need to add 4 additional rules to your ingress.yaml . The final version of this fragment may look like that:

  - http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: twitter
          servicePort: 6020
        path: /twitter
      - backend:
          serviceName: twitter
          servicePort: 6020
        path: /css
      - backend:
          serviceName: twitter
          servicePort: 6020
        path: /js
      - backend:
          serviceName: events
          servicePort: 6010
        path: /events
      - backend:
          serviceName: events
          servicePort: 6010
        path: /css
      - backend:
          serviceName: events
          servicePort: 6010
        path: /js

The issue for me was the same, however I don't even had my.js/.css/etc files in a separete folder, yet I couldn't get it loaded.

After hours of search, it turned out to be an incorrect Exact pathType in the.yaml file:
I have changed it to Prefix , and it solved the issue.

My sample Ingress yaml, with the correct pathType:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: my-webapp-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
  namespace: default
spec:
  rules:
    - host: my.webapp.com
      http:
        paths:
          - path: /
            pathType: Prefix  #<----- the correct pathType for me
            backend:
              service:
                name: my-webapp-service
                port:
                  number: 80
