Page not found when reload the page

[matheusdavidson]

For anyone searching on how to use emberjs or ember cli with non hash urls on github pages(gh-pages) the solution is pretty simple.

This sort of config should be done on the server, but github pages won't allow you to modify server config, so how can it be done?

Easy:
Copy your index.html file to a 404.html file and upload the 404.html in the root directory where your index.html is and everything will work fine even when you reload the page.

haha that's an awesome hack @matheusdavidson

This issue is related to #1 I should be able to take some time today to fix that and this.

closing based on that referenced commit. The generator now sets it to hash by default. If this is something more people want we could have an option that will auto generate the 404 for you so it works without it.

uahuah
i was crazy looking for a solution, after two days googling around and trying everything i could, i came up with this hack as my last try 😝

@jakecraige for some reason the blueprint did not work when installed in an addon...maybe it is not looking at tests/dummy/config/environment.js?

What I found to be a slicker solution was to simple add ENV.locationType = 'hash'; inside the if (environment === 'production') block (same as how you have to set ENV.baseURL). IMO that is a better solution than this addon assuming that the user wants to use hash locations in all environments.

Both of those settings are updated with the latest version of the addon. It should also automatically update your dummy config.
