I am gonna be very brief.
I have an Angular project with simple navigation menu (routerLinks). Everything work as it is supposed to if it is on localhost, powered by angular cli.
But when I deploy it on a real server (i don't have any VPS or any other server, just folder where I can put my files) weird thing starts happening.
The app is functional, navigation is functional, routeLinks routing, but when I refresh a browser or try to write something manually into URL line, every time I get 404 Not found. (so i am in [domain]/home - everything is ok, but when i refresh browser, i got 404 /home not found.
Maybe I am looking for a problem in a bad place and it is not a problem of angular but about HTTP requests (i don't know much about it).
Do you have any idea where I should start?
Thank you, Pavel F.
the project what i am talk about: http://www.pavel-challenge.cz (no, this is not ad :D )
app-routing.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { PassionsComponent } from './passions/passions.component';
import { QuestionComponent } from './question/question.component';
import { AboutComponent } from './about/about.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { KnowledgeComponent } from './knowledge/knowledge.component';
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', redirectTo: '/home', pathMatch: 'full' },
{ path: 'home', component: HomeComponent },
{ path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
{ path: 'knowledge', component: KnowledgeComponent },
{ path: 'questions', component: QuestionComponent },
{ path: 'passions', component: PassionsComponent },
{ path: '**', redirectTo: '/home', pathMatch: 'full' }
];
@NgModule({
imports: [ RouterModule.forRoot(routes) ],
exports: [ RouterModule ]
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}
navbar.component.html
<ul>
<li><a routerLink="/about">About</a></li>
<li><a routerLink="/knowledge">Knowledge</a></li>
<li><a routerLink="/questions">Questions</a></li>
<li><a routerLink="/passions">Passions</a></li>
</ul>
FIXED: (for Apache HTTP server)
i created .htaccess file and put it into root folder on a provider side.
.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
