Customized web app will not deploy properly

RudieWatzig — Tue, 21 Apr 2015 21:49:00 GMT

I am currently using Web App Builder 1.1 Developer edition.

When I import my web app from my AGOL account, I can modify it, etc. I can then save the map, it downloads the zip of the application, and I then deploy it on my web server. The app works just fine.

When I modify the app by adding a custom widget, and follow this process, the web app does not work fine in deployment. The app now re-directs to an https and times out. The load screen shows, and then the redirect happens and the app never starts up.

When I view the customized app in web app builder, using the "launch" button, the app loads just fine, and the widgets work, etc.

I am not using an https redirect under the authentication of the app on the dev website. Any thoughts?

I gave the app to my IT guy, and this is what he found (see attached)

It's all frustrating, because I got a pretty nice app worked out and I would love to deploy it. Thanks for your help.

Rudie,

From the looks of the console log, you are trying to run the site from the file system and not the web server. Have you tried to actually run the site from your web server using the web servers url?

Yes. I don't know if the screen capture is relevant or not. This is what my IT guy provided. He was running it from his file system but I only run it on the web server.

Rudie,

OK I need to see the web console from your browser when you access the site from the web server. Or if you have made the site public then that would be even better and I could diagnose on my end.

Rudie,

Right in your main config.json you have the portalUrl as "https://geo.maps.arcgis.com" twice

Open the config.json and change the https to http and we can try it again.
