Hi,
I’m running an Angular app as an app/static site. I want to add a htaccess file to control some Angular routing. How/where can I do this?
Best regards

×Hi @MrHansen,
I believe websites on App Platform are not served by an apache server, so an .htaccess file will have no effect.
Having said that, I’ve gone over our community and found a similar issue that was resolved again regarding Angular Websites on App Platform and believe it will be beneficial for you.

Hi @KFSys
Thank you for the link!
It helped me and solved my problem. I inserted “catchall_document: index.html” in my app spec.

Hi @MrHansen,
I’m glad to hear that you were managed to solve your problem!

I think that the static sites are deployed into a block storage like spaces, where no http server which could interpret .htaccess, My solution was in React App to change the routing and use bookmark # like mysite.com/#dashboard to make it work, If you are not satisfied with this solution I think you have to create a dynamic site with http server behind.
