Actually in react every route such as example.com/something or example.com/something/inside_something should respond back with index.html present inside root folder irrespective of route which has been hit. In apache web servers by default /something means to open something folder in root folder and render index.html from there

try this solution if it works https://gkedge.gitbooks.io/react-router-in-the-real/content/apache.html
