EEException: Server returned HTTP code: 404 --- Problem testing app with Google App Engine and Google Earth Engine

[Alí Santacruz]

Hi all,

I am trying to test a basic app with Google App Engine using the trendy-lights example with Google Earth Engine App. 

I cloned the trendy-lights app from the GEE github repository and updated the application name in app.yaml, EE_ACCOUNT in config.py and the privatekey.pem file. I didn't do any other change. However the trendy-lights app does not work.

Please see the error I got below. I am trying to figure out why it does not work. (Just FYI, I tried the sample flask app in GAE and it works well, I see the 'Hello World' text when I go to the app webpage). 

Does anyone know what the error I got refers to? I have no clue and I don't know how to debug it.

Another question: For running this app (i.e., the trendy-lights example) using GAE and GEE, do I have to sign up for the free trial or get a paid account? (I am a trusted tester for GEE)

Thanks for any help!

Hi Ali,

It seems as though you've produced a perfect question for stackoverflow. However, Google Groups isn't the right place to post it, since this forum is meant for more general / high level discussion of the platform and services. I'd be happy to help out on your stackoverflow question when you post it, so feel free to link back to it in your reply here.

Best wishes,

Nick

Hi Nick,

The issue was solved earlier today by the administrators of the GEE platform,

My account had to be whitelisted by them for the app to be able to run,

So the problem is solved now. I will post the solution on stackoverflow,

Thanks!

Best,

Ali
