How to Implement angular push state on apache

I followed the directions for implementing push state by codelord.net" and got the .htaccess code from here.

When I click on a navigation link, the URL is shown as

http://writers-tryst-test.ron-tornambe.com/writers

which looks correct, but I receive the following browser error:

The writers-tryst-test.ron-tornambe.com page isn’t working

I am a Linux newbie and a bit confused about where the .htaccess root file is located. I am on a GoDaddy shared server. I appended the code in the .htaccess file that is in the same folder that contains public_html.

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    <IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
        # Netscape 4.x has some problems...
        BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html

        # Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
        BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4.0[678] no-gzip

        # MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
        # BrowserMatch bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

        # NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
        # the above regex won't work. You can use the following
        # workaround to get the desired effect:
        BrowserMatch bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

        # Don't compress images
        SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        # Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
        Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

angular.module('wtApp').config(function($locationProvider) {

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

wtApp.config(function ($routeProvider) { $routeProvider // route for the home page .when('/', { templateUrl: 'pages/home.html', controller: 'mainController' }) // route for the writers page .when('/writers', { templateUrl: 'pages/writers.html', controller: 'writersController' }) ... HTML
