I am building a simple angular frontend page to display some simple html pages and am trying to get angular-route to work correctly. I have a Nav bar at the top and I want to have a view displayed below it where I can change out the html pages within that view. I have a routing.js file with the controllers and routing infomation being referenced from the main html page. My problem is that non of my views are being displayed. When I check the webpage console to see why the views aren't being displayed it returning a 404 Not Found. I'm not sure why considering I have the routing.js file right in root. Here is my index.html page with the nav bar and where the views should be showing.

I'm at a loss considering I reference the routing.js script. I am new to angular js so I am doing something wrong obviously. Below is my routing.js script as well.
var plateApp = angular.module('plateApp', ['ngRoute']);
plateApp.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
// route for default/welcome page
.when('/', {
templateUrl : 'default.html',
controller : 'defaultController'
})
// route for Register LP Page
.when('/register', {
templateUrl : 'register.html',
controller : 'registerController'
})
// router for Paying Tickets page
.when('/payticket', {
templateUrl : 'payticket.html',
controller : 'payticketController'
})
// route for getting plates and Lot page
.when('/getplates', {
templateUrl : 'getplates.html',
controller : 'getPlatesController'
});
});
//Controllers
plateApp.controller('defaultController', function($scope){
//Keeps scopes and other Vars here
$scope.testMessage = 'Welcome to this website';
});
plateApp.controller('registerController', function($scope){
//Keeps scopes and other Vars here
$scope.testMessage = 'Register your plates';
});
plateApp.controller('payticketController', function($scope){
//Keeps scopes and other Vars here
$scope.testMessage = 'Pay Tickets';
});
plateApp.controller('getPlatesController', function($scope){
//Keeps scopes and other Vars here
$scope.testMessage = 'Get Plates from SQLdb';
});
Also some background info on how the server is being run. I have a linux box running node and express on port 1337
When I type in the address to the server which is 192.168.239.130:1337/ I have it sending back the index.html page. This loads fine and I am able to see the nav bar/webpage except I don't see the views of the other html pages being loaded because apparently the routing.js file isn't found.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
<script src="/routing.js"></script>to be sure it's at the website root/after#should be like :href="#/register"
