title: '`getServerSideProps` Export Error'
---

## Why This Error Occurred

You attempted to statically export your application via `output: 'export'` or `next export`, however, one or more of your pages uses `getServerSideProps`.

It is not possible to use `getServerSideProps` without a server, so you'll need to use `next start` when self hosting or deploy to a provider like [Vercel](https://vercel.com).

## Possible Ways to Fix It

1. If you'd like to keep your application static, you can use `getStaticProps` instead of `getServerSideProps`.

2. If you want to use server-side rendering, update your build command and remove `output: 'export'` and remove `next export`. For example, in your `package.json`:

   ```diff
   --- a/package.json
   +++ b/package.json
   @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@
   {
     "scripts": {

   -    "build": "next build && next export",
   +    "build": "next build",
       "start": "next start"
     }
   }
   ```

   ```diff

   {
     module.exports = {

     }
   }
   ```

> **Note**:
>
> - Removing export does not mean your entire application is no longer static.
> - Pages that use `getStaticProps` or [no lifecycle](/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/automatic-static-optimization) **will still be static**!
