angularjs - 404 not found on API route for MEAN application? -

in application when 1 of forms submitted, function called...

$scope.submit = function() {     $scope.message = "";     var params = {         ...     };     subscriber.create(params)         .success(function(data) {             ...         }); }; 

which in turn calls subfactory create method, posts '/mail'.

subfactory.create = function(subdata) {     return $http.post('/mail', subdata); }; 

upon attempting post '/mail' error post http://localhost:8080/mail 404 (not found). cannot figure out how resolve because have this...

apirouter.route('/mail')     .post(function(req, res) {         ...     }); 

and far i'm aware should able find '/mail'. full apirouter located here, , full server.js file located here.

when setup api routes in server.js, routed /api, routes added router begin there. therefore, /mail route located @ /api/mail

server.js

// routes // ========  // api route // ------------- var apiroutes = require('./app/routes/api')(app, express); app.use('/api', apiroutes); 

./app/routes/api

apirouter.route('/mail')     .post(function(req, res) {
