Khan,

When you run your WAB app in WAB Dev it uses NodeJS for a web server. When you deploy the app to your machine you need to be sure you have a web server installed. In your case you need to be sure IIS is installed on your Windows 7 machine and you are deploying the app to your IIS inetpub\wwwroot folder.

Robert Scheitlin, GISP , am I right in thinking that NodeJS as a web server deploys WAB Dev Ed. apps only within the same network connection?

In other words, it wont serve the apps out like IIS would over public ip's.

For example, I wouldn't be able to access the apps served out by the NodeJS web server that's on my local network from my mobile device carrier's network.

I would need IIS for this desired behavior.

Khan,

NodeJS is packaged with WAB Dev, you do not have to do anything on your own for that. So you say IIS is installed on your machine so when you go to http://localhost you get an image like this?

Andres,

Yes that is correct NodeJS web server will only work on the same network. You need IIS on a web server that has a publicly accessible IP.

Khan,

What is the url you are trying to use to browse to your app?

What is the exact file directory path to your apps folder (i.e. c:\inetpub\wwroot\xyz)?

Khan,

When you open the test folder in windows explorer do you see the index.html file or is it under another folder?

OK, so it is getting to the app it is just not loading completely. That is helpful. Can you share a screenshot of the browsers console errors?

Khan,

Open the apps config.json in the main folder in a text editor and change the "portalUrl": to a http url instead of https.

Also add the woff and woff2 mime types to your web server.

Hello Robert, I'm unable to use WAB. It just get stuck on this screen when I try to create a new app.

I already asked for help to the Esri represents that sell us the license in my country (Venezuela) but I have been waiting their answer for more than a month.

I got a Creator user and a GISPro Basic license, with any of those users I'm unable to use WAB.

I already tried with different browsers, eliminate cache, and enable pop up and cookies.

I hope you or someone in the Esri community can help me with this.

Thank you in advance.
