I am working on angular 4 application. It's working fine on my local machine. When I do ng serve it serves the application as http://localhost:4200. Since it's a POC project therefore, there is no api call but fetching data from assets/data.json file using services.
Now I like to deploy this site to azure. I got the dist folder as well when I ran "ng build --env=prod". I also saw the deployment succeeded message as well.
but, when I'm running the web site from azure it's not loading properly. I launched the developer tool and see lots of 404 not found messages. I also attached the screen shot.
I dont know why this site is not working properly. One more thing when I go inside the dist folder on my local machine and run the index.html page get the same error messages.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
To avoid these 404 errors, you'd need to serve static JSON and WOFF files on Azure by creating a web.config
file in your wwwroot folder and put the following MIME config there.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".json" />
<remove fileExtension=".woff" />
<remove fileExtension=".woff2" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff2" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Make sure you add the .htaccess file to your directory with the built code in /dist
Create .htaccess file and add:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [L]
