HTTP Error 404 - After a successful "New Azure OpenAI" deployment to Azure using "Deploy to Azure" button

[bsonnek]

I ran the "Deploying with a new Azure OpenAI instance" Azure Portal command from here:
https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/samples/apps/copilot-chat-app/webapi/DeploymentTemplates/README.md

The deployment was successful in the Azure Resource Group deployment templates.

When I test the web app with the https://app-skweb.azurewebsites.net/probe
I receive "Semantic Kernel Service up and running"

But when I try to access the chat web app for the first time I receive an HTTP Error 404 - page can’t be found.
Accessing this link gets 404 - https://app-skweb.azurewebsites.net

I'm running this directly from the main github repo so everything is recent.

Any Idea what I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!

The templates only deploy backend web api (i.e., CopilotChatWebApi). For the end-to-end experience you'll need to run the frontend web app (i.e., samples\apps\copilot-chat-app\webapp) and configure it to use your instance of the backend webapi. I think the issue here is that we're missing a section in the READMEs on connecting these two.

1. Get your API key from your deployed instance (https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/samples/apps/copilot-chat-app/webapi/DeploymentTemplates/README.md#authorization)
2. Follow the instructions to run the frontend web app locally and configure it to use your deployed backend: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/main/samples/apps/copilot-chat-app/README.md#start-the-webapp-frontend-application.

We'll take a look at making this process more obvious this week.

Great! Thank you for the quick response!

One last question - for modifying the .env file with the backend URI what should it be? The Azure WebAPI server doesn't appear to allow traffic on port 40443 - I've opened ports on the NSG and still cannot get a response.

I've tried different variations of the URI but can't get my webapp to open up. It just sits and spins..

URIs I've tried:
http://app-semkernel-skweb.azurewebsites.net:40443/
https://app-semkernel-skweb.azurewebsites.net:40443/
https://app-semkernel-skweb.azurewebsites.net

I figured out what URI to use since port 40443 wasn't used:
REACT_APP_BACKEND_URI=https://app-semkernel-skweb.azurewebsites.net/

Everything is now working
