If you are in  NET stack with MVC with AngularJS  this is what you have to do to remove the      from url     Set up your base href in your  Layout page   lt head gt   lt base href     gt   lt  head gt  Then  add following in your angular app config    locationProvider html5Mode true  Above will remove     from url but page refresh won t work e g  if you are in  yoursite com about  page refresh will give you a 404  This is because MVC does not know about angular routing and by MVC pattern it will look for a MVC page for  about  which does not exists in MVC routing path  Workaround for this is to send all MVC page request to a single MVC view and you can do that by adding a route that catches all url     routes MapRoute          name   App           url     url            defaults  new   controller    Home   action    Index

I had a similar problem and I solved it by     Using  lt base href   index html  gt  in the index page Using a catch all route middleware in my node Express server as follows  put it after the router       app use function req  res        res sendfile   dirname     Public index html          I think that should get you up and running   If you use an apache server  you might want to mod rewrite your links  It is not difficult to do  Just a few changes in the config files   All that is assuming you have html5mode enabled on angularjs  Now  note that in angular 1 2  declaring a base url is not recommended anymore actually

From the angular docs     Server side   Using this mode requires URL rewriting on server side  basically you have to rewrite all your links to entry point of your application  e g  index html    The reason for this is that when you first visit the page   about   e g  after a refresh  the browser has no way of knowing that this isn t a real URL  so it goes ahead and loads it  However if you have loaded up the root page first  and all the javascript code  then when you navigate to  about Angular can get in there before the browser tries to hit the server and handle it accordingly
