My current app users routes like this /myapp/, /myapp//, /myaapp/dept/
My app is currently deployed in an internal http server with NGINX. The other server that accepts external traffic, also runs NGINX and forwards it to the internal server.
I have add baseref=/myapp to the index.html as per documentation
If the user goes to http://www.myexternalserver.com/myapp, the app works perfectly. If the user is inside the page and clicks on an internal link like
http://www.myexternalserver.com/myapp/myparameter, it works. The url in the browser changes, the page is displayed as intended. I am guessing it's processed by Angular 2.
Unfortunately when a user types in the url directly: http://www.myexternalserver.com/myapp/myparameter, I get a 404 error made by NGINX.
I think I have to configure NGINX settings but I don't know how should modify NGINX's config or what to put in the sites-available/default file/
I just had this same issue and found a solution. My base href is "/", however.
Below is my nginx.conf:
worker_processes 1;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
server {
listen 80;
server_name mysite.com www.mysite.com;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
location / {
try_files $uri$args $uri$args/ /index.html;
}
}
}
I was also having problems here, this is now contemplated in the angular docs: https://angular.io/guide/deployment
NGinx: use try_files, as described in Front Controller Pattern Web Apps, modified to serve index.html:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
I had the same issue with a subdomain at a site hosted with HostGator shared hosting. It appears it's running Apache 2.2.31.
Searching around eventually led me to "Apache Directives", which led me to "Custom Error Responses".
I was able to fix my issue by creating a .htaccess
file in my subdomain folder with the following line in it:
ErrorDocument 404 /index.html
Though looking at the debug tools, I'm still getting a 404 code returned even though it succeeds.
UPDATE:
Was able to fix the 404 issue by changing my .htaccess
to the following:
RewriteEngine On
# If an existing asset or directory is requested go to it as it is
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# If the requested resource doesn't exist, use index.html
RewriteRule ^ /index.html
Now I'm properly getting redirected to index.html and code is 200.
This is what my working configuration look like, slightly different than accepted answer. My project located in folder /usr/share/nginx/html/myapp
and index.html base path has /myapp/ as base url.
