I'm developing an angular6 application and I want to generate a build to test on my server, currently I use ng server and it runs working on my browser without generating any errors.

c:\Users\emiry\Desktop\Angular\Projects\StartingNewProject

when I run the ng build command it generates a build for the /dist folder and returns no errors

on my machine I have installed wamp64 so I get this build generated by ng and put it in my www folder

C:\wamp64\www\StartingNewProject

Just this would be enough for me to be able to run my application on the server?

when I try to access my application that is on the server through the http:// localhost/startingnewproject/

it returns me the following error in the browser console

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) polyfills.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) styles.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) vendor.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) main.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I tried to access as follows

file:///C:/wamp64/www/StartingNewProject/index.html

5index.html:13 GET file:///C:/runtime.js 0 () /C:/favicon.ico:1 GET file:///C:/favicon.ico 0 () translate.google.com/gen204?nca=te_li&client=te_lib&logld=vTE_20180625_00:1 GET file://translate.google.com/gen204?nca=te_li&client=te_lib&logld=vTE_20180625_00 0 ()

file:///C:/wamp64/www/StartingNewProject/index.html

GET file:///C:/runtime.js 0 () /C:/favicon.ico:1 GET file:///C:/favicon.ico 0 ()

When I try to access the root directory to see the folders and files, I can perfectly, the problem is when I load the index.html

If you paste C:\wamp64\www\StartingNewProject or C:\wamp64\www\StartingNewProject\index.html into your browser, does that load the application? - user184994
Hi, I tried to access and I had some problems, I put the results I got in the question - Emiry Mirella
Okay, so it looks like it can at least find the file, which is good. Have you checked that your wamp64 service is running and that it is configured with apache correctly? - user184994
yes, in my wamp I also have my api to connect with this my angular project and when I execute the ng serves in angular I can access the api correctly - Emiry Mirella
If you just browse to http://localhost, does the WampServer homepage show? (not your Angular Homepage) - user184994

The issue that the project is having is in trying to find it's dependencies. The index.html file of your Angular project should contain a tag that looks like:

<base href="/">

Or similar. That means, when it looks for dependencies, it looks for the relative to the root. In your case,there not next to the root (i.e. localhost), they're under StartingNewProject

You can should generate a new build with ng build --prod --base-href=/StartingNewProject/ which will add the base href tag for you. Please note that it is important to include both the leading and trailing slash here.

More details can be found in the Angular docs, here

I was facing the same problem. I fixed this using ./.

<base href="/"> to <base href="./">

again build and deploy.

you may get a "deprecated" warning with Angular 11 when using

ng build --prod --base-href=/StartingNewProject/

You can instead adjust angular.json.

In angular.json file, create a "baseHref" property like this:

 "projects": {
   "your-project-name" : {
          "architect": {
             "build": {
               "options": {
                   "baseHref": "/your-relative-path/"

This will change the URL both in production and development.

Beware that, in your links, always use relative paths like this (instea of "/"):

 <img class="top-bar__logo" src="./assets/images/picture1.svg" />
