Error hosting Map Series template

[deleted-user-KnEH1ZtJQ4CO]

I created and configured simple Map Series story in ArcGIS online with a single map. Downloaded the Map Series template and uploaded to a web server. Portal is not installed on this server. Note - we these templates provide access private web services through a proxy. I followed the four steps for configuring template, including configured index.html with the app ID, as are described on GitHub.

When the application loads, it hangs with a 404 at a reference http://myserver.com/sharing/rest/portals/self?culture=en-us&f=json. This directory exists on ArcGIS online, but not on my server.

I just wanted to verify that portal is not required to be installed to run the app and also ask if I need to make any configuration changes to config.js for this most basic deployment to work.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey Tim,

I confirm that Portal for ArcGIS is not required, I suspect that it's because your application is deployed in myserver.com/apps/MapSeries/ or myserver.co/home/MapSeries. When the app detect that it's hosted in one of those two configuration it will look for a Portal on the same server. If you can change the folder you should be good. Let me know otherwise.

Thanks, that solved my problem. Any idea if that is true of other templates? We've deployed the compare template inside an apps folder and it ran ok, but this one threw me for a loop.
