This configuration has worked for many of our Apache users using html5mode and ui-router.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName my-app
DocumentRoot /path/to/app
<Directory /path/to/app>
RewriteEngine on
# Don't rewrite files or directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# Rewrite everything else to index.html to allow html5 state links
RewriteRule ^ index.html [L]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Also please make sure you are not a victim of <base href>
bug. See the ui-router FAQ for more info.
