404 config.json error for server deployment of WebAppBuilder Application?

[GeoffreyWest]

I am reeving  a 404 error that my config.json cannot be found, I have added the JSON mime type to my IIS configuration at the site and server levels and have restarted IIS.  This error appears as so in my console  with other errors which I think are caused by the initial 404 of the config.json.  What other steps can be taken to remedy this?  Additionally when I hit the index.html I receive  an "Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0" error

1. I did download app director and put it in my Inetpub folder. Configured

IIS with .json and application/json MIME settings

2. This is not publicly available, but is available on the organization

network, i.e. I can hit GISDEV01 from any machine that is on this network.

(However the app via AGOL is public)

3.I have the app in a folder called LifeSupportApplication and the

index.html is in there.

Geoffery,

OK, so the url http: //gisdev01/LifeSupportApplication/LifeSupportApplication/config.json?wab_dv=2.1 seems to be the issue.

you state:

I have the app in a folder called LifeSupportApplication and the

index.html is in there.

So if that is the case the url you should be using is:

http://gisdev01/LifeSupportApplication/config.json?wab_dv=2.1

not

http://gisdev01/LifeSupportApplication/LifeSupportApplication/config.json?wab_dv=2.1

[GeoffreyWest]

I was able to successfully hit the JSON from my client; where is it

supposed to be changed in my JS or HTML? Thanks for your help Robert. Is

there a better way to configure this so I don't encounter this issue again?

Geoffery,

If you just use http://gisdev01/LifeSupportApplication/​in your browsers url does it not work?

[GeoffreyWest]

It does work; I was able to figure it out; I had to redirect the file in

IIS to the correct URL.
