Lesson 3: The Silent Assassin (Default Placeholders)
Why it failed: With zero server errors, I still got a blank screen. cPanel automatically drops a generic index.html page into the public web folder, and LiteSpeed prioritizes static files, intercepting all traffic before it ever reached Node.js.
The Fix: Deleting that single default file instantly brought the app online! 🚀

Takeaway: Modern frameworks are incredible, but deployment infrastructure is often years behind. Every deployment battle you fight adds another layer of armor to your engineering skills. Keep building! 🛠️
