Why won't my ArcGIS API library download work on my local server?

ChrisSergent · ‎01-23-2015

After losing internet connection today, I decided to download the ArcGIS API for JavaScript Library 3.13. Our server is maps.decaturil.gov. I also tried the server name as well. I have the files in the folder that the documentation displays, but I receive an error telling that the files can not be found. What am I doing wrong?

The issue that I ran into was that in IIS7 even thought I copied the folder into the correct folder, I still needed to add a virtual directory for thearcgis_js_api\library\3.12\3.12. I usually don't mark my questions as answered but since we figured it out I shall this time.

Hi Chris,

have you changed init.js and dojo.js on your API to your host ?

here is the example

after that try to access your api on browser like this : http://yourhost/js/library/3.12/3.12/init.js‌ you will get js script on browser.

check all configuration correctly, create simple app like this :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    <title>Simple Map</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yourhost/js/library/3.12/3.12/dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yourhost/js/library/3.12/3.12/esri/css/esri.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://yourhost/js/library/3.12/3.12/init.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      dojo.require("esri.map");
      function init() {
        var myMap = new esri.Map("mapDiv");
        //note that if you do not have public Internet access then you will need to point this url to your own locally accessible cached service.
        var myTiledMapServiceLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/NGS_Topo_US_2D/MapServer");
        myMap.addLayer(myTiledMapServiceLayer);
      }
      dojo.addOnLoad(init);
    </script>
  </head>
  <body class="tundra">
    <div id="mapDiv" style="width:900px; height:600px; border:1px solid #000;"></div>
  </body>
</html>

good luck

Yes, I tried both the server name and the URL for the server.

KyleDixon · ‎01-26-2015

Paste the URL to the init.js or any other js file in your browser to confirm the path is correct.

You should see the JavaScript.

Like this: https://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/?v=2.7

Thanks, Esri is helping me now. They said that everything I am doing is correct. I will post the outcome here.
