Here is my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.html [NC,L]
Here is app.js
var app = angular.module('router', ['ngRoute']);
app.controller('main', function($scope, $location, $routeParams){
$scope.test = 'testing';
$scope.theID = $routeParams.theID;
});
// Routing Configuration
app.config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/about', {
templateUrl: 'views/about.html'
})
.when('/paramtest/:theID', {
templateUrl: 'views/aboutID.html',
controller: 'main'
})
.otherwise({
templateUrl: 'views/home.html'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}]);
Here is aboutID.html
ID: {{theID}}
When I go to http://example.com/about it works great, even if I do a cmd+r refresh it still loads the page fine.
If I click on a link from within the app and go to http://example.com/paramtest/1234 it works fine.
The problem is if I try going directly to http://example.com/paramtest/1234 or doing a hard refresh http://example.com/paramtest/1234 angular routing no longer works and all of the variables are outputted like this {{var}}
I also have the <base href="/"> tag in place.

Routing segment from app.js
// PAGE SETUP
app.config(['$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/about', {
templateUrl: 'views/about.html'
})
.when('/findcontractor', {
templateUrl: 'views/findcontractor.html'
})
.when('/editjob/:jobID', {
templateUrl: 'views/editjob.html'
})
.when('/viewcandidates/:jobID/:validate', {
templateUrl: 'views/viewcandidates.html'
})
.when('/messenger/:creatorID/:jobID/:candidateID', {
templateUrl: 'views/messenger.html'
})
.when('/profile', {
templateUrl: 'views/profile.html'
})
.when('/findwork', {
templateUrl: 'views/findwork.html'
})
.otherwise({
templateUrl: 'views/home.html'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}]);
Normal url's like http://example.com/about/ work perfectly, but any parameter pages don't work on a hard refresh, it either returns 404 or index.html without any javascript included.
