ng build fails to copy .htaccess to dist folder

[gandra]

ng build does not copy .htaccess to dest dir. I have tried to put .htaccess in both src and src/assets folder but in both cases .htaccess does not appears in dist folder.
Here are more details about:

OS?

Linux Mint 18.1 “Serena”

Versions.

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.28.3
node: 7.5.0
os: linux x64
@angular/common: 2.4.7
@angular/compiler: 2.4.7
@angular/core: 2.4.7
@angular/forms: 2.4.7
@angular/http: 2.4.7
@angular/platform-browser: 2.4.7
@angular/platform-browser-dynamic: 2.4.7
@angular/router: 3.4.7
@angular/compiler-cli: 2.4.7

Repro steps.

ng new angular-cli-test
cp kibernum-dnc-client/src/.htaccess angular-cli-test/src/
cd angular-cli-test

ng build
ls -la dist/

mv src/.htaccess src/assets/
ng build
ls -la dist/

The log given by the failure.

There is no log error. Errror is that I expect that file .htaccess is copied in dist folder.

When you put it in src/assets/.htaccess, it will be copied into dist/assets/.htaccess.

If you want it to be in dist/.htaccess, then you should be in src/.htaccess AND you need to add it to angular-cli.json in the assets array (like favicon.ico).

@filipesilva ,
in such case .htaccess is copied in assets/.htaccess.
I want to have assets in the root of dest folder.

If you think that it works can you give me the gist of your angular-cli.json file?

Here is my gist

[filipesilva]

Change this bit:

      "assets": [
        "assets",
        "favicon.ico"
      ],

to

      "assets": [
        "assets",
        "favicon.ico",
        ".htaccess"
      ],

[gandra]

Now works. Thanks!
So, for others as reference here. is fix:

1. Put .htaccess in src folder (final path for is src/.htaccess)
2. Have something similar to this:

            "assets": [
                "assets",
                "assets/images/favicon.ico",
                ".htaccess"
            ],

Kudos to @filipesilva !

unrelated... why are files in my assets folder ending up in
/dist and in /dist/assets ?

Hey @filipesilva , can you please let me know what should be the content of .htaccess?

I tried this, but of no use:

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

I have set <base href="http://146.148.47.134/mm-coming-soon/">

Need your guidance.

@arun-awnics I know this may be late but this is my .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*) index.html [NC,L]
</IfModule>

But in my case, I have set <base href="/">

Hope this helps.

i have deployed the angular project on apache server and i have added .htaccess file in src folder but when i am refreshing the page at that time i am getting 404 error.

[bleuscyther]

@sandipsanap try with RewriteBase /
you can change it to /dist for example or the name of your sub_directory

[jbkhellas]

I know this might sound silly but angular.json has two sections, one for test and one for build. So add the entries to the correct one! :-)

[ahmadraza-gh]

I have generated the .htaccess file. Now I want to make changes in .htaccess file while building the angular build. currently I have the following in .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
# If an existing asset or directory is requested go to it as it is
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

# If the requested resource doesn't exist, use index.html
RewriteRule ^ /test/index.html

I need to change the last line of this file RewriteRule ^ /test/index.html.
How can i achieve it.
