How do I configure the acquia\_config.yaml or acquia\_config.yml file? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Front End Hosting - Basic offering supports both `.yaml` and `.yml` extensions. To configure the `acquia_config` file, insert the following configuration details at the root level of your `acquia_config.yaml` or `acquia_config.yml` file: output_directory: "out/" root_directory: "./" To avoid syntax errors, ensure that you add new properties or settings in the `yaml` format. How do I configure the output directory for Front End Hosting - Basic applications? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To configure the output directory for Front End Hosting - Basic applications: 1. In the root directory of your project, locate and open the `acquia_config.yaml` or `acquia_config.yml` file. 2. Configure the `output_directory` parameter to specify the output directory. The following are the ways to specify output directory formats: * **Output Directory at SVN Repo Root Directory**: To set the output directory at the root of your SVN repository, use the following format: output_directory: "output_dir" * **Output Directory with absolute directory path relative to acquia\_config.yaml or acquia\_config.yml**: To set the absolute directory path relative to `acquia_config.yaml` or `acquia_config.yml` for the output directory, use the following format: output_directory: "./output_dir" * **Nested Directory path**: If the output directory is within other directories, use the following format: output_directory: "path/to/output_directory" What is the importance of providing additional parameters in the acquia\_config.yaml or acquia\_config.yml file? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Providing necessary parameters or ensuring that the artifact is in the default directory is important. If you do not provide additional parameters in the `acquia_config.yaml` or `acquia_config.yml` file, the Front End Hosting - Basic application defaults to searching for the SSG artifact within the html directory. If the application does not find the artifact in the html directory, the deployment fails.  Does Front End Hosting - Basic support Node.js site hosting? ------------------------------------------------------------ Front End Hosting - Basic does not support Node.js site hosting.
