angularjs pretty url is not working - angularjs

Question

My problem is url is not working without # . Here is my code :
angular.module('Hiren', ['ngRoute'])
.config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'partials/login.html',
controller: 'login'
})
.when('/redirect', {
templateUrl: 'partials/postLogin.html',
controller: 'postLogin'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
When I try to browse the url example.com/redirect , it gives me 404 , but using hash ( example.com/#redirect) its perfectly working .

If you're getting a 404 in HTML5 mode you need to configure your server to serve your Angular application (usually index.html or app.html) when a 404 happens on the server. You don't mention what you're using for a server so I can't give specific instructions on how to do that. This is more a server configuration issue than an Angular one.
Edit now that server is known:
import SimpleHTTPServer, SocketServer
import urlparse, os
PORT = 3000
class MyHandler(SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
# Parse query data to find out what was requested
parsedParams = urlparse.urlparse(self.path)
# See if the file requested exists
if os.access('.' + os.sep + parsedParams.path, os.R_OK):
# File exists, serve it up
SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.do_GET(self);
else:
# redirect to index.html
self.send_response(302)
self.send_header('Content-Type', 'text/html')
self.send_header('location', '/index.html')
self.end_headers()
Handler = MyHandler
httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)
print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()
