WAB Developer only publishing locally

[travisslack1]

Hey guys,

I have WAB developer edition installed and can enter my portal URL fine, but when I export as a template and import on my portal site, the URL for the web app is https://local.machiene.name/webappbuilder as opposed to https://web.domain.com/blah/blah. When I launch the WAB Developer using startup.bat I specify my portal address as https://web.domain.com/arcgis/

This isn't letting anyone but me view the app. Am I missing a step here? Thanks

WAB Developer does not have to be run on the server that houses portal/server right?

I wasn't creating the Web App using ArcGIS Online. I created it using the WAB developer edition. If you've created the WAB on ArcGIS Online, then distributing the app is as easy as linking directly to it eg.

https://COMPANYNAME.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=a67e12b1ef434dfdbec12a00bd1573a3 

Or something of that nature. What I was doing here was creating a WAB app using developer edition to use with Portal/Server (basically a local version of ArcGIS Online) as I wanted everything to run through our company domain name vs linking people to the arcgis online app. The CA certificate is an SSL certificate (http vs https). This gets setup during the IIS/Portal/Server configuration.

Hi Nadine,

> I simply don't get how to serve my customized app via ArcGIS Online, instead of from my local pc.

Please see my answer to your previous post earlier in this thread. FYI: ArcGIS Online does not support direct hosting of custom apps. See help topic,

Hope this helps,
