I am hosting my vuejs project on apache server.

  1. init project
  2. setup router
  3. Build and hosted to apache server 

const router = new VueRouter({
  routes: Routes,
  // relative: true,
  mode: 'history'
});

This runs fine in local, but vue router breaks on server. Example

If I run http://example.com and go to http://exmaple.com/sub It works fine

but if I refresh the page It will throw 404 Error.

Error: enter image description here

From the vue.js documentation page:

When using history mode, the URL will look "normal," e.g. http://oursite.com/user/id. Beautiful!

Here comes a problem, though: Since our app is a single page client side app, without a proper server configuration, the users will get a 404 error if they access http://oursite.com/user/id directly in their browser. Now that's ugly.

Not to worry: To fix the issue, all you need to do is add a simple catch-all fallback route to your server. If the URL doesn't match any static assets, it should serve the same index.html page that your app lives in. Beautiful, again!

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

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

This worked for me, because my SPA is in a subfolder.Write this inside the .htaccess file.

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

Website folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\dist

.htaccess file ubication: C:\xampp\htdocs\dist\.htaccess

Hi my friend if you are using Linux os, go this routes : /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf And add the following code :

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

It seems its not your issue its apache .htaccess issue i guess, your local may have that file and your server don't have it.

please once check it that, you also uploaded .htaccess to your server as its hidden file you may forgot to upload it.

if its not there you can check this reference help : https://router.vuejs.org/en/essentials/history-mode.html

and add your own .htaccess file if its not there.
