http-server -p 8082 showing ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT

Question

I am working on angular project . I want to apply PWA (Progressive web app) to my application. Here are the commands I followed.

ng build --prod
cd dist/appname
http-server -p 8082

when I open the 127.0.0.1:8082/#/ or localhost:8082/#/ it is showing following error

This page isn’t working localhost sent an invalid response. ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT

How to fix it?

Answer 1

http-server has been broken recently, you can either :

• use version 0.9.0 explicitly in your package.json ("http-server": "0.9.0",)
• use another package that is not based on http-server like @Ruina suggested

Answer 2

You have to directly call index.html. At least that's what worked for me just now.

Try: http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html
