Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot match any routes RC4 Child Routes
When your Route configuration is set to below
{ path:'movie-home', component:HomeComponent}There is only one route that Angular interprets and that is movie-home and hence everything works fine
Now when you change your config to this
{ path:'movie-home', component:HomeComponent, children:[ {path : 'animation' , component:AnimationComponent}, {path : 'action' , component:ActionComponent} ]}Angular now knows of only two routes ie. movie-home/animation and 'movie-home/action'. There is no movie-home route because you don't have pathless route in children.Following config should fix your issue
{ path:'movie-home', children:[ {path : '' , component:HomeComponent}, {path : 'animation' , component:AnimationComponent}, {path : 'action' , component:ActionComponent} ]}Make sure you are on beta.2 version or above when it releases of router v3
