I generated an Angular 7 app using @angular/cli, I haven't changed anything, all default settings - I just created it 20 minutes ago.
When I run ng build or ng build --prod, it puts the build in:
dist/
appname/
in my case that's
dist/
api-app/
looks like this:
The weird thing is that when I load index.html, I get 404s for all the static assets:
<-- [GET] /
--> 200 OK / (dist/api-app/index.html) 592 Byte (19.188ms)
<-- [GET] /styles.3ff695c00d717f2d2a11.css
<-- [GET] /runtime.ec2944dd8b20ec099bf3.js
--> 404 /styles.3ff695c00d717f2d2a11.css (2.416ms)
--> 404 /runtime.ec2944dd8b20ec099bf3.js (2.236ms)
<-- [GET] /polyfills.20ab2d163684112c2aba.js
<-- [GET] /main.9113cc683ed9b1c834cf.js
--> 404 /polyfills.20ab2d163684112c2aba.js (0.471ms)
--> 404 /main.9113cc683ed9b1c834cf.js (0.550ms)

I tried loading the index.html page using several different servers, and it always gets 404s for the static assets. Does anyone know why? Here is the index.html file:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>ApiApp</title>
<base href="/">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.3ff695c00d717f2d2a11.css">
</head>
<body>
<app-root></app-root>
<script type="text/javascript" src="runtime.ec2944dd8b20ec099bf3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="polyfills.20ab2d163684112c2aba.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="main.9113cc683ed9b1c834cf.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
The reason was because the web server I was running had the wrong root. I did this:
now it works
