Thanks Mark,

I saw that line, and I've played around with it, but it doesn't seem to
make a difference. Let me describe my process:

Here is my setup information:
[image: Inline image 1]
The App base URL confuses me, because it seems it should be hardcoded.
Every time I would install *any* app it would only be accessible from the
above URL (/api/apps).

I created the index.html page with just the barebones default values from
the web tutorial:

[image: Inline image 3]

(I went ahead and removed the dhis from the baseURL)

I then upload my test app:[image: Inline image 2]

When I go to it, none of the relative paths are working correctly. So I
update the index.html to reflect the css files actual location:

[image: Inline image 5]

But I left the javascript section alone. If I reload the app, I now get the
following errors from the js files:

[image: Inline image 6]

Those are the four js files. I then go ahead and fix their relative paths
too, as they are looking for this from my api/apps folder when they should
be in the dhis root.

And now I am back to this error:
[image: Inline image 8]

It doesn't seem to do anything if I change the baseURL to any number of
things:

[image: Inline image 9][image: Inline image 12][image: Inline image 11][image:
Inline image 10]

The error will always be the same, 404, and the location it is looking for
the file will never differ: api/apps/dhis-web-commons/menu/ It doesn't seem
as if the dhis2.settings.baseUrl is having any affect.
