Getting 404 error for an angular application deployed on cPanel when I try to access a specific page using route shared in mail. How can I solve this?

Question

I have created an Angular application and it is working fine. If I try to access a specific page on the browser I can type the route and it will redirect me there. Now the backend shares this route in mail and I would like to redirect to this page.

Accessing the page however, throws 404 error.

I am using cPanel as my hosting service.

Any help would really appreciate. Been trying it for days now.

I have tried changing .htaccess to have RewriteEngine On but still not working as expected.

Check your Nginx configuration file. It should be similar to:

server{
    listen 80;
    listen [::] 80;
    server_name www.example.com example.com;
    root /var/www/example.com;
    index index.html;
    location / {
        try_files $uri$args $uri$args/ /index.html;
    }
}

I have never tried that, but something similar to nginx config above but for .htaccess is:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine on
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
      RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
      RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.html [NC,L]
   </IfModule>
