Hey there Mark, Thanks for taking another look at this with me :)
I'm running 2.18 using the Sierra Leone test database I loaded up your app and of course because I don't have the ROOT.war sitting in a dhis folder it didn't work right off the bat, but I was intrigued how you formed your relative paths, I was able to update mine to match, so no more annoying triple ../ everywhere. That being said, I went ahead and I tried using your menu-app with no updates and renaming my ROOT.war to dhis. DHIS2 navigates to the correct location when I click on it http://192.168.1.114:8080/dhis/api/apps/menu-app/myInstance/myApp/index.html but still has the same error: [image: Inline image 1] It is interesting that it now looking in the 'api/apps/menu-app/myInstance/' which follows the folder structure of your 'menu-app' but quits at myInstance (not continuing onto myApp) [image: Inline image 2] You said you are seeing the menu/branding when you loaded it onto your test machine? I'm not sure what to do here, maybe this particular call in dhis2.menu.ui.js isn't honoring the baseUrl LINE 950 dhis2.menu.ui.initMenu = function () { try { jQuery.ajax({ type : "GET", url : "../dhis-web-commons/menu/getHelpPageLinkModule.action", dataType : "json", success : function(json) { helpPageLink = json; bootstrapMenu(); } }); } catch (e) { if (console && console.error) console.error(e.message, e.stack); } }; My version of 2.18 is about a month old, so I don't know if maybe any changes made to this particular file in the interim.
