How to setup apache server for React route?

Question

I have my react app running great on my local dev server but it did not work when I dump my production ready files straight into Apache\'s htdocs directory:

Here is

Answer 1

What worked for me, echoing many of the answers and comments here:

1. sudo a2enmod rewrite
2. Open up /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
3. Paste in this:

">
    RewriteEngine on
    # Don't rewrite files or directories
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ - [L]
    # Rewrite everything else to index.html to allow html5 state links
    RewriteRule ^ index.html [L]

4. sudo service apache2 restart

Pasting into the site-specific conf file did not work as earlier answers suggested.
