I've set up routing in angular that works perfectly correct within application, however if I navigate to my about page for example so http://localhost:9000/about
and refresh the page I get error saying "Cannot GET /about"
, same happens if I open a new tab and paste url there and visit the page.
My boot.ts file containint routing logic

In your boot.ts, put this:
import { bootstrap } from "angular2/platform/browser";
import { bind } from "angular2/core";
import { ROUTER_PROVIDERS, LocationStrategy, HashLocationStrategy } from "angular2/router";
bootstrap(MainApp, [
ROUTER_PROVIDERS,
bind(LocationStrategy).toClass(HashLocationStrategy)
]);
Your URL's will be with #/home
To complement what Vlado said, with the default strategy you need a server configuration to redirect all your paths to your HTML entry point file. With the hashbang approach it's not necessary...
You could have a look at these questions about this issue:
Hope it helps you, Thierry
enable hashes with your routes
export const routing = RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes, { useHash: true });
