# Build directory not writeable
|
|
|
|
#### Why This Error Occurred
|
|
|
|
The filesystem does not allow writing to the specified directory. A common cause for this error is starting a [custom server](https://nextjs.org/docs#custom-server-and-routing) in development mode on a production server, for example, [Vercel](https://vercel.com) which [doesn't allow you to write to the filesystem after your app is built](https://vercel.com/docs/deployment-types/node#file-system-specifications).
|
|
|
|
#### Possible Ways to Fix It
|
|
|
|
When using a custom server with a server file, for example called `server.js`, make sure you update the scripts key in `package.json` to:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"dev": "node server.js",
|
|
"build": "next build",
|
|
"start": "NODE_ENV=production node server.js"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and the custom server starts Next in production mode when `NODE_ENV` is `production`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
|
|
const app = next({ dev })
|
|
```
