Angular 2 app not working on Apache HTTP Server

Question

I copied my Angular 2 app on the Apache HTTP Server 2.4 in the htdocs folder, but it doesn't work.

index.html:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
   <meta charset="utf-8">
   <title>Angular 2 app</title>
   <base href="/">

  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">

</head>
<body>
   <app-root>Loading...</app-root>
</body>
</html>

If I try to open the index.html page in the browser, I see only the text "Loading...." in my browser. The Angular 2 App is not displayed.

How can I fix this?

It works on my local environment right, where I am using Angular CLI. I need to find a way to make it work on the Apache HTTP Server 2.4. The only thing I have to do locally is to run npm start.

Yes, locally I am using angular-cli. The only thing i am doing locally is to run "npm start". — Alexandru

you just need to add a point in the base href <base href="./">

This works for me, too! To prevent overwriting the file, specify --base-href in ng build instead of manually editing the generated file: ng build --base-href './'.

You will need to create a Build if you are planning to run your app on a remote server. Use the 'ng build' command (stop npm start first). ng build will create a distributable build in the 'dist' folder in your project. You can copy the contents of this folder to your remote server.

First, install Angular CLI in your dev environnement (if not done already)

npm install -g angular-cli

Run this command to build a dist version of your project

ng build -prod

copy/paste the content of dist folder into the root of your local (or online) apache server

if you are using angular-cli follow this steps:

you need build your app for production run (this generate a folder with the name of your app) :

  ng build -prod --output-path=[appname]-bh /appname/

copy your app folder into root apache server path : /var/www/html/

That's all

Regards,

Fernando.
