Deploy Angular 2 to Apache Server

It appears i was missing this in my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf file. After adding this and restarting apache, website runs fine.

<Directory "/var/www/html/dist">
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

1) Change base tag in index.html file

<base href="./">

2) Build Project:

ng build --prod --base-href /myproject/

3) Add your dist files in "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/myproject/"

4)On Apache Server 2.4 (httpd) In File: /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf setup "FallbackResource"

<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs">
   ...
   FallbackResource /myproject/index.html
</Directory>

full file "/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf":

ServerRoot "/usr/local/apache2"

Create .htaccess file in the root folder and paste this in .htaccess

 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>

1. Change base tag in index.html file

   <base href="./">

2. Create a build after that

   ng build --prod

3. Now you will have a new folder dist, deploy dist folder now. It should work.
