Hey Timothy,

Have you added the baseUrl config above where you include dhis2.menu.js and dhis2.menu.ui.js? 

This should set a base url for  where the menu script will look to find your files. (By default this is set to .. which is likely the reason it looks in the wrong place)

You will have to change  “dhis” in the example below to your “root” path. In your i assume that would be “/“ since you’re serving from the localhost root and not a “dhis” subfolder.

<script>
 window.dhis2 = window.dhis2 || {};
 dhis2.settings = dhis2.settings || {};
 dhis2.settings.baseUrl = 'dhis’; //Change this where you want it to look. I guess in your case '/' should work.
</script>


Kind regards,

Mark Polak
