Issue with html5Mode in angularjs

I'm trying to remove index.html of the url using html5Mode(true) in angularjs, this is the code:

angular.module('myApp', [
  'ngRoute',
  'myApp.filters',
  'myApp.services',
  'myApp.directives',
  'myApp.controllers'
]).
config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
  $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
  $routeProvider.when('/home', {templateUrl: 'views/home.html'});
  $routeProvider.when('/about', {templateUrl: 'views/about.html'});
  $routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/'});
}]);

If I dont write $locationProvider.html5Mode(true); the url shows:

localhost:(port)/MyApplication/index.html

If I write $locationProvider.html5Mode(true); the url shows:

localhost:(port)

MyApplication is removed of the url. And I want the url shows:

localhost:(port)/MyApplication/

What I'm doing wrong? What's the problem?

UPDATE:

How should show my <a> tags? Right now I have:

<a href="#/about">About</>

When I click on the link, the url shows:

localhost:(port)/MyApplication/index.html#/about

I'm lost with this.

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • If your application runs under /MyApplication/ try to set the base path in your index.html and switch on html5Mode:

    <html>
  <head>
    <base href="/MyApplication/index.html" />
    ...
