This error happens when you use img with src attribute instead of ngSrc. You should use this notation:

The problem is that when you use src="{{CurrentPage.img}}" syntax, browser starts downloading a resource making an HTTP request before Angular resolves binding and replace {{CurrentPage.img}} with actual image path:

http://localhost:8080/img/%7B%7BCurrentPage.img%7D%7D

(urlencoded {{CurrentPage.img}}). Obviously it will result in a 404 error.

On the other hand, ng-src attribute doesn't mean anything to browser so it won't do anything, until Angular is ready and ngSrc directive creates src attribute with proper URL.
