Thank you and +1 for answering the question in the OP. | |

Your RedirectMatch simply doesn't catch all the paths you want. You could modify it and add lots of exceptions for every file you add somewhere to your DocumentRoot. But I don't think this is a good idea. The solution above rewrites all URI paths to /index.html which are not found in your DocumentRoot. If your app only needs files inside the DocumentRoot and has no other rewriting or proxying, then this could work for you.

| May 6, 2019 at 21:40 | comment | added | CodeMed | OK. Your approach works. But why do you think that I should allow Apache to return a 404 here? The result of your code is that now the Angular 7 app running in the browser is able to return its own 404 page for every route after mydomain.com that is not defined in the Angular app. This allows separation of concerns, so that the Angular app can manage all the routes not specified on the server. What is wrong with this? | |
