The requested URL /multichain-web-demo was not found on this server.

Question

I installed the Multichain web demo and am having trouble connecting. My Multichain explorer works fine. It's only the demo that I cannot connect to. I followed all the instructions on the page (https://github.com/MultiChain/multichain-web-demo),  but I'm getting the error listed above. 

First, I tried running the default.rpchost in config.txt as the local host (127.0.0.1) but I still got the same error. (The rest of my configurations in config.txt are correct. I'm using the right rpcport, username, and password). Then, I changed the default.rpchost to the IP address to the server of my first node which is where I installed the Multichain web demo. I then stopped the Multichain server, went into the multichain.conf file and then added "rpcallowip=server's IP address" and then restarted the server & tried to run it again. I ended up with the same error. Not sure how to proceed and would appreciate any help!

Most likely you didn't install the Web Demo under the directory name that you're trying to retrieve it under. Did you create a directory named multichain-web-demo in your web server's root serving directory, and then install all the Web Demo files inside that directory?
