OAuth works but redirects to Convex domain with “No matching routes found” instead of frontend
I’ve been setting up OAuth with @convex-dev/auth (Google + GitHub). The login flow does work — users are created in the Convex users table and show up in the dashboard.
The problem is after authentication: instead of redirecting back to my frontend app (running on http://localhost:3000 in dev), the browser gets stuck on the Convex backend domain (https://grandiose-meadowlark-398.convex.site) and shows only:
No matching routes found
The network tab shows errors like:
GET https://grandiose-meadowlark-398.convex.site/?code=14452581 404 (Not Found)
So Convex successfully authenticates the user but does not forward them back to my frontend app. I tried setting redirectTo in signIn and also experimented with SITE_URL, but I keep running into errors like:
Invalid
redirectTo http://localhost:3000 for configured SITE_URL: https://grandiose-meadowlark-398.convex.site
In short:
Users are stored correctly in Convex.
After login, Convex leaves me on the backend domain with “No matching routes found.”
It never redirects to my frontend app.
How should I configure this properly so Convex redirects back to my frontend instead of leaving the browser at .convex.site?
Thank you for your time, I would appreciate a help here18 Replies

Thank you!
Have you made sure to add the callback urls in your github and google?
what you can do is in the SignIn function, pass a variable called "reditectTo" which redrects after correct sign in
or add that in your middleware!
does this solve your problem?
Hey @Sara thank you for you reply
I made sure the callback urls are set correctly , I followed from the convex doc
I also added the redirectTo in the signIn functions
I also tried adding to the src\middleware.ts , and the problem remains even after I restarted both front-end and convex servers
I still get No matching routes found
that;s not how you use the middleware..
it used to be like this :
// src/middleware.ts
import { convexAuthNextjsMiddleware } from "@convex-dev/auth/nextjs/server";
export default convexAuthNextjsMiddleware();
export const config = {
matcher: ["/((?!.\..|_next).)", "/", "/(api|trpc)(.)"],
};
can you try adding the
redirectTo:"/dashboard"
to your signIn page?
or to the route you want the users to be redirected to, then we solve your middleware issue
I'd change the name to _middleware.ts temporarily
I don't have a dashboard page , I setup a new convex project then set up the auth at the beginning
it won't redirect to the "/" route
the middlware is working fine I guess , I tried adding some console.logs there
also comment out the redirect to from the signout, will be fixed with the middleware fix
Okay I'll try it thank u
use what ever route you want
and let you know
as soon as I tried renaming the middlware.ts to _middleware.ts
it stopped working , and I'm getting POST http://localhost:3000/api/auth 404 (Not Found)
since I don't have much time on my hands,
the middleware should look something like:
https://labs.convex.dev/auth/authz/nextjs#require-authentication-for-certain-routes
and it would only work, if you have used the Server wrapper.
Server-side authentication in Next.js - Convex Auth
Authentication library for your Convex backend
yep! wrap your layout in the server wrapper
it is wrapped
thank you for your time
I'll follow the middlware aproach you just sent and see
follow this page:
https://labs.convex.dev/auth/api_reference/nextjs/server
nextjs/server - Convex Auth
Authentication library for your Convex backend
will, I'll check back when I can, good luck!
I finally fixed the Convex auth issue 😂
Turns out my code and callbacks were all fine , I simlply tried changing the SITE_URL in the convex dashboard environment variables from https://grandiose-meadowlark-398.convex.site to http://localhost:3000
and it's redirecting to the "/" just fine
thanks @Sara apprecite it
Yeah always triple check your variables
