Issue
I’m trying to run my angular2 site on my portfolio site, but when I point to index.html file, all I get is Loading… and the page never loads. I’ve never deployed an angular2 site online before. Is there something I’m missing?
Solution
If you are using angular-cli, you can create a build by using the command ng build and then upload those files located in dist/ folder to your FTP server.
After executing ng build, you should see the following files in dist/ folder.
C:\temp\ng2_test\dist>dir
Volume in drive C is OS
Volume Serial Number is XXXX-XXXX
Directory of C:\temp\ng2_test\dist
