Answer 1

1. Install http-server using npm install -g http-server command
2. Generate a build by using ng build --prod command
3. Go to dist/project_name from cmd
4. Type http-server -p 8080 on cmd
5. Type http://localhost:8080/ on browser

Answer 2

Perform an ng build on the directory and point your http-server at the resulting dist/ folder, which contains the compiled HTML and Javascript files your browser can consume.

Answer 3

I just installed http-server today and my problem was it just wasn't serving the content at all when I went to localhost:8080. The command prompt would flash for a second and disappear. I resolved my problem by hitting http://192.168.40.78:8080 . http-server lists two urls you could hit. The 192 one worked, but not the localhost one.

Answer 4

specify the file when running http-server

http-server [path] [options]

[path] defaults to ./public if the folder exists, and ./ otherwise.
