app.js

var app = angular.module('appName', ['ngRoute']);

app.config(function($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider
  .when('/', {
    controller: 'homeController',
    templateUrl: '../views/home.html'
  })
  .when('/about', {
    controller: 'aboutController',
    templateUrl: '../views/about.html'
  })
  .otherwise({
    redirectTo: '/'
  });  
});

Controller #1

app.controller('aboutController', ['$scope', function($scope) {

}]);

Controller #2

app.controller('homeController', ['$scope', function($scope) {

}]);

It looks like it has something to do with your angular.module. Perhaps you have it defined incorrectly, or defined in two places, or you have two modules with the same name. Could also be that you created a new module and didn't inject it into your application. Can you post the code?

Have you included ng-app="appName" in index.html somewhere?
