Routing javascript file not found using Angular-route

I am building a simple angular frontend page to display some simple html pages and am trying to get angular-route to work correctly. I have a Nav bar at the top and I want to have a view displayed below it where I can change out the html pages within that view. I have a routing.js file with the controllers and routing infomation being referenced from the main html page. My problem is that non of my views are being displayed. When I check the webpage console to see why the views aren't being displayed it returning a 404 Not Found. I'm not sure why considering I have the routing.js file right in root. Here is my index.html page with the nav bar and where the views should be showing.

    <!DOCTYPE html>

I'm at a loss considering I reference the routing.js script. I am new to angular js so I am doing something wrong obviously. Below is my routing.js script as well.

var plateApp = angular.module('plateApp', ['ngRoute']);

plateApp.config(function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider

    // route for default/welcome page
    .when('/', {
        templateUrl : 'default.html',
        controller  : 'defaultController'

    })
    // route for Register LP Page
    .when('/register', {
        templateUrl : 'register.html',
        controller  : 'registerController'

    })

    // router for Paying Tickets page
    .when('/payticket', {
        templateUrl : 'payticket.html',
        controller  : 'payticketController'
    })

    // route for getting plates and Lot page
    .when('/getplates', {
        templateUrl : 'getplates.html',
        controller  : 'getPlatesController'
    });
});

//Controllers
plateApp.controller('defaultController', function($scope){
    //Keeps scopes and other Vars here
    $scope.testMessage = 'Welcome to this website';
});

plateApp.controller('registerController', function($scope){
    //Keeps scopes and other Vars here
    $scope.testMessage = 'Register your plates';
});

plateApp.controller('payticketController', function($scope){
    //Keeps scopes and other Vars here
    $scope.testMessage = 'Pay Tickets';
});

plateApp.controller('getPlatesController', function($scope){
    //Keeps scopes and other Vars here
    $scope.testMessage = 'Get Plates from SQLdb';
});

Also some background info on how the server is being run. I have a linux box running node and express on port 1337

When I type in the address to the server which is 192.168.239.130:1337/ I have it sending back the index.html page. This loads fine and I am able to see the nav bar/webpage except I don't see the views of the other html pages being loaded because apparently the routing.js file isn't found.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Looks like an issue with the template URL. Ensure that the path that you are providing as the template URL is a relative URL.

So for example if your templates (HTML) for the view is present in a folder called 'Views' then your template URL should be '/views/default.html', provided that the 'Views' folder is at the root level.
