My application works fine when served with the ng serve command or with the ng serve --prod command, but when I build it for production with the ng build --prod command and then serve it with the http-server -p 8080 -c-1 dist/ng-zero command or with the live-server --entry-file=dist/index.html command, any request has a 404 response.
I had a look at different questions and their answers here, but nothing helped. I tried the HashLocationStrategy suggestion, I tried the useHash: true one too, to no success.
The Http server starting the application:
$ http-server -p 8080 -c-1 dist/ng-zero
Starting up http-server, serving dist/ng-zero
Available on:
http://127.0.0.1:8080
http://192.168.0.7:8080
http://172.19.0.1:8080
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

It does open a new browser tab on http://127.0.0.1:8080/ but it is blank and the console says:

I'm on Angular 7 ^7.0.0-rc.0
The ng build --prod command pushes all required files under the /dist folder. You just need to copy those files in the server.
If you want to serve the content from the /dist folder
angular-http-serverangular-http-server --path dist/
