AngularJS ngRoute 404 page not found

I have been trying to figure out why my view doesn't work. I am not sure if I am missing dependencies or just have something simple wrong.

when I run the program through pycharm is shows the index.html page, and when I click on one of the links to the different views it displays a 404 page not found.

I have these directories under my project folder:

-lib
-css
-partials
-scripts

-index.html

can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

AngularJS js file:

  var mainApp = angular.module('mainApp', []);
    mainApp.config(['$routeProvider',
      function ($routeProvider) {
        $routeProvider
            .when('/home', {
                templateUrl: '/partials/home.html',
                controller: 'controller_home'
            })
            .when('/about', {
                templateUrl: '/partials/about.html',
                controller: 'controller_about'
            })
            .when('/cart', {
                templateUrl: 'partials/cart.html',
                controller: 'controller_cart'
            })
            .when('/contact', {
                templateUrl: 'partials/contact.html',
                controller: 'controller_contact'
            })
            .when('/myAccount', {
                templateUrl: 'partials/myAccount.html',
                controller: 'controller_myAccount'
            })
            .otherwise({
                redirectTo: '/partials/home'
            });
    }]);

mainApp.controller('controller_home', ['$scope', function controller_home($scope) {
    $scope.message = "$scope.message : from controller_home";
}])
    .controller('controller_about', ['$scope', function controller_about($scope) {
    $scope.message = "$scope.message : from controller_about";
}])
    .controller('controller_cart', ['$scope', function controller_cart($scope) {
    $scope.message = 'this is the cart';
}]);

Solution

You are missing dependency ngRoute

  var mainApp = angular.module('mainApp', ['ngRoute']);

also your controllers should be ,

mainApp.controller('controller_home', ['$scope', function($scope) {
    $scope.message = "$scope.message : from controller_home";
}])
mainApp.controller('controller_about', ['$scope', function($scope) {
    $scope.message = "$scope.message : from controller_about";
}])
mainApp.controller('controller_cart', ['$scope', function($scope) {
    $scope.message = 'this is the cart';
}]);
