Menu
I have an issue with a website I built from angular. In index.html, there are references to javascript files, but my problem is this: in the HTML, the paths are relative to the file but the browser looks for the files in the root dir:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>RasaBE</title>
<base href="/">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
<!-- <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
-->
</head>
<body>
<app-root></app-root>
<script type="text/javascript" src="inline.bundle.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="polyfills.bundle.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="styles.bundle.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="vendor.bundle.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="main.bundle.js"></script></body>
</html>
This works fine when everything is in the root folder of my website, but I wanted to have everything in a subfolder /bo/. So index.html is in localhost/bo/index.html and so are all the scripts. Since it's a relative path in the code I'd expect my browser to look for localhost/bo/script.js, but instead it looks for localhost/script.js.
A screenshot to show what's wrong:
I tested this in Chrome and I have the same issue. It's a bit complicated to change the paths directly since it's compiled from angular, and I'd probably have to change it every time it compiles. Is this an issue with Firefox and the way it deals with relative paths?
I should also add that host/bo/inline.bundle.js exists and can be found by the browser but the it looks for it in the root folder instead of the same folder as index.html.

This "base" element sets the default location for the page.
Remove
<base href="/">
OR
<base href="/bo/">
