How do I change the URL of my deployed app?

[Dirk Haupt]

Hi,

I have two applications running and have a basic plan and thus far am a happy customer. I would like to change the URL of my applications (I don't want to add an additional custom domain, just permanently change the current URL). So instead of https://urpanalyses.shinyapps.io/URP-Application I'd like it to be https://urpanalyses.shinyapps.io/URP-version1.

So a simple change. Obviously I could have had my desired URL if I made it from the start so I'm wondering if there's a straightforward way to do this.

I have tried changing the directory name where server and ui are located and and redeploying, but I then get:

Preparing to deploy application...Error: /v1/applications/ 400 - Validation Error

Execution halted

Thanx for the hand,
Dirk

The easiest way to deploy an application with a new URL is to deploy a new app using the new name and delete the old one.

You can do:

deployApp("path/to/my/app", appName="URP-version1")

The other option is delete the rsconnect directory in side your application, and then rename the directory to "URP-version1".

After that you can simply terminate, and then delete the old one.

Turns out my directory had a space so it was "URP version1." Removing the space and adding a hyphen like I had intended solved the issue
