Direct links result in 404 errors

[nhorvath]

When directly linking to a page in docular a 404 error is displayed instead of taking you to the page.
for example:
http://grunt-docular.com/documentation/docular/docularconfigure/index

Also if you refresh a page a 404 error displays.

I'm using chrome browser.

Workaround: take the url from the browser window and add a #! at the root of docular install.

eg http://grunt-docular.com/documentation/docular/docularconfigure/index
becomes http://grunt-docular.com/#!/documentation/docular/docularconfigure/index

Yeah, sadly the github io doesn't actually 'serve' pages.. and I'm not really sure there's a way to tell it to just serve everything from index.html (which is how the html5 pages work).

I was having the issue on my documentation server too... so you're saying if I put in an htaccess rule to have everything route to index.html it would work without changing the links?

[stephenliberty]

Yes, it should. That's how the html5 mode pages work. Here's some quick details:

Of course this doesn't make it crawlable by google or anything.. it just makes it nice for people.
