angular 404 does not work with otherwise templateUrl nor redirectTo

trying to add a simple 404.html template but for some reason it does not get rendered. in my app.routes.js I tried the following
$routeProvider.when('/', {
templateUrl: '/templates/index.html',
controller: 'IndexCtrl'
}).otherwise({
templateUrl: '/templates/404.html'
})
I also tried to use redirectTo as below but it does not work
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/templates/404.html'
})
when I try to type something like http://localhost:5000/aaaaaaaaaaaaa in console I see 404 response but template is not rendered. do I need to adjust controller ?

You can create an specific route for 404 with an specific view /templates/404.html.
Than, in the otherwise() method call, you can redirect to that route /404:
app.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'templates/index.html',
controller: 'IndexCtrl'
})
.when('/404', {
templateUrl: 'templates/404.html'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/404'
});
});

state provider and route provider in angularJS

Below is my app.js file
angular
.module('repoApp', [
'ngAnimate',
'ngAria',
'ngCookies',
'ngMessages',
'ngResource',
'ngRoute',
'ngSanitize',
'ngTouch',
'ui.bootstrap',
'ui.router'
])
.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
})
.when('/about', {
templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
controller: 'AboutCtrl'
})
.when('/login', {
templateUrl: 'views/loginPage.html',
controller: 'loginCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
});
angular
.module('loginState',['ui.router']);
Below is my states file
angular
.module('repoApp')
.config(function ($stateProvider) {
$stateProvider.state('home1', {
url:'/home1',
templateUrl: 'views/modals/test.html'
})
.state('secondState',{
url:'/secondState',
templateUrl: 'views/modals/secondStateTest.html'
});
});
The problem is, using my html i navigate to login page.
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li><a ng-href="#/about">About</a></li>
<li><a ng-href="#/">Contact</a></li>
<li class="loginShift"><a ng-href="#/login">Login</a></li>
</ul>
but I am trying to hit the state as soon my flow hit the controller
angular.module('repoApp')
.controller('loginCtrl', function ($scope,$modal,$state) {
$scope.awesomeThings = [
'HTML5 Boilerplate',
'AngularJS',
'Karma'
];
$state.go('home1');
$scope.openDialog = function () {
$modal.open({
keyboard: 'static',
templateUrl: 'views/login/loginCred.html',
});
};
});
but I am not able to hit the home state.
If I change my states file i.e
$stateProvider.state('home1', {
url:'/login',
templateUrl: 'views/modals/test.html'
})
here I changed URL. It works fine now.
I have a template from where I want to navigate to a next state
<div>
<button data-ng-click="openDialog()">open ME!</button>
<div><a ui-sref="secondState">click here</a></div>
</div
but as soon I click this anchor tag it navigates me back to home page. ie not to the state I intend to go.
The main issue is URL(i guess) any help will be appreciated.

You shouldn't use both ngRoute and UI-router. Here's a sample code for UI-router:
repoApp.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('state1', {
url: "/state1",
templateUrl: "partials/state1.html",
controller: 'YourCtrl'
})
.state('state2', {
url: "/state2",
templateUrl: "partials/state2.html",
controller: 'YourOtherCtrl'
});
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/state1");
});
//etc.
You can find a great answer on the difference between these two in this thread: What is the difference between angular-route and angular-ui-router?
You can also consult UI-Router's docs here: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router

Route AngularJS app without changing URI

I am trying to create an Angular API which should be able to be integrated on any webpage. I have a frontApp using AngularJS and a backend which uses Laravel 4.
The problem is that my routing look like this at the moment :
angular.module('FrontApp').config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/home', {
templateUrl: 'views/home.html',
controller: 'HomeCtrl'
})
.when('/login', {
templateUrl: 'views/login.html',
controller: 'LoginCtrl'
})
.when('/register', {
templateUrl: 'views/register.html',
controller: 'RegisterCtrl'
})
.when('/members', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
})
.when('/apinotfound', {
templateUrl: 'views/api.html'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/login'
});
}]);
But since my App will be integrated on a webpage whose URI can not changed, I can not use this routing system. I was wondering if a trick would be possible, to keep those routes in a variable maybe, and then route my App without changing the URI of the page?

How do I apply active class to navbar using angular-ui-utils?

I am a rank beginner with angularJS and I'm developing the ui for a single-page app in angularJS using node/bower/grunt and I have installed angular-ui-bootstrap and the route and event utils from angular-ui-utils.
I've used ng-class={active:$uiRoute} on the menu items but when a menu item is selected the active class is not applied...does $uiRoute handle this or do I need to code it separately?
Apologies for asking a dumb question...
Here is the code:
`<div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li ui-route="/" ng-class="{active:$uiRoute}">Home</li>
<li ui-route="/about" ng-class="{active:$uiRoute}">About</li>
<li ui-route="/other" ng-class="{active:$uiRoute}">Other</li>
</ul>
</div>
...
<script src="bower_components/angular-ui-utils/modules/route/route.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-ui-utils/modules/event/event.js"></script>`
And
angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute','ngResource','ui.bootstrap'])
.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
})
.when('/about', {
templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
controller: 'AboutCtrl'
})
.when('/other', {
templateUrl: 'views/other.html',
controller: 'OtherCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
})

Looking through the ui-utils docs, it appears you have not injected the module dependency. Change your myApp to inject ui.utils
angular.module('myApp', [
'ngRoute',
'ngResource',
'ui.bootstrap',
'ui.utils'
])
.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
})
.when('/about', {
templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
controller: 'AboutCtrl'
})
.when('/other', {
templateUrl: 'views/other.html',
controller: 'OtherCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
});

add ng-class="{'active':isActive('/about')}"
.run([ '$rootScope', '$location', function($rootScope, $location, ) {
$rootScope.isActive = function(path) {
if ($location.path() && $location.path().substring(0, path.length) == path) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
}

I advise you tu use UI router with named states.
Your router will looks like :
angular
.module('myApp', ['ui.router'])
.config(($stateProvider, urlRouterProvider) => {
$stateProvider
.state('index', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl',
})
.state('index.about', {
url: 'about/'
templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
controller: 'AboutCtrl'
});
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
});
and you will be able to user ui-sref-active directive in your template like :
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li ui-sref-active="{ 'active': 'index' }">
Home
</li>
<li ui-sref-active="{ 'active': 'index.about' }">
About
</li>
</ul>
</div>
