After Production mode and JS minification, 404 error for all JS files

Question

I have enabled JS minification and Merging while in developer mode. Then i enabled production mode.

Cleared cache and ran below commands:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

but still i get 404 error for all JS files in console.

Magento still tries to look for Non-minified version of JS files!

Note: In developer mode everything works fine!

Answer 1

I fixed this by editing .htaccess file in /pub/static

uncommented line 16 so it looks like this

RewriteBase /pub/static/

I then ran

bin/magento deploy:mode:set production

again and it cleared the errors.

All js and css are minified and merged correctly
