Express routing conflicting with AngularJS routing.-Collection of common programming errors

I was able to find the solution from here: AngularJS and ExpressJS routing conflicts. Basically, in the angular routing file, the templateURL needs to be pre-pended with a ‘/’. For e.g, in my angular routing code, I had to change

$routeProvider.when('/routeName', {
        templateUrl: 'view1.html', 
        controller:'rcontroller' 
});

to

$routeProvider.when('/routeName', {
        templateUrl: '/view1.html', 
        controller:'rcontroller' 
});
