We have developed Angular2 App.
It is working fine while we are running under angular-cli with \'ng serve\'.
Once we host the app to IIS 7.5, we can browse t
[windows hosting] Create text file and call it "web.config" open it and past the content below then make sure it is in the root directory in your hosting
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Angular Routes" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="./index.html" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
BEST OF LUCK :) It is rewarding when I save someone else time!
An even simpler change worked for me, using Angular 4.0 and IIS 6.1. This allowed me to use a named site instead of the default folder or the rewriting above. I just changed the base href from '/' to the name of my app folder:
<head>
<base href="MyApp">
...
Hope this works for others!
I get this resolved by doing following steps ..
Downloaded URL Rewriter module from https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=7435
Added following to my web.config
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="AngularJS" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
<base href="/"/>
These three steps will set you up for deployment of Angular2 / Angular App with html5mode url on IIS 7.5 or IIS 8.0
Hope this will help. I have to go through few answers to get this one resolved.
