React Routes not working after building the app using webpack - .htaccess

Question

React Routes not working after building the app using webpack
The routes are working fine when I am running the app using the webpack server (npm start)
webpack.config file
var webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
entry: {
'index': [
'webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:8080/',
'webpack/hot/only-dev-server',
'./index.jsx'
]
},
output: {
path: __dirname,
filename: "[name].js",
publicPath: 'http://localhost:8881/',
chunkFilename: '[id].chunk.js',
sourceMapFilename: '[name].map'
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx', '.es6'],
modulesDirectories: ['node_modules']
},
module: {
loaders: [
{test: /\.jsx$|\.es6$|\.js$/, loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel-loader'], exclude: /node_modules/},
{test: /\.scss$|\.css$/, loader: 'style-loader!style!css!sass'}
]
},
plugins: [
new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin()
],
devtool: "eval-source-map",
devServer: {
port: 8080,
historyApiFallback: {
index: '/'
}
},
externals: {
'Config': JSON.stringify({
serverUrl: "http://pss/",
authSuccessUrl: "http://localhost:8881/loginSuccess",
podioClientId: "property-seller-solutions"
})
}
};
package.json file:
{

}
.htaccess File:
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
After building the app (webpack --hot --inline), got two output files - index.js and index.html
I copied the two files and the .htaccess file to my localhost root folder.
The index route is working fine..(http://localhost), but when I am trying to redirect to http://localhost/home its showing "404 Not Found" Error (The requested URL /home was not found on this server.)
These routes are working fine when I am running the app using the webpack server (npm start) - http://localhost:8080/home

Answer 1

Worked.
Used the following .htaccess code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^ /index.html [L]
And used the following terminal command to build the project using webpack:
webpack --inline --history-api-fallback --progress -p

Answer 2

You need to configure your app to serve index.html when visiting /home.

Answer 3

To my understanding,if you say http://localhost:8080/home it will made server-side router call. You need it setup it first,
