Setup new server with latest parse-server and parse-dashboard results in the below screenshot error.

Latest version of dashboard

I am using express and the using the following to init parse-dashboard:

var dashboard = new ParseDashboard({
  "apps":dashboards,
  "iconsFolder": "icons",
  "users": [
    {
      "user":"username",
      "pass":"password"
    }
  ],
  "useEncryptedPasswords": false,
  "trustProxy": 1
},true);

var app = express();
app.use(helmet());
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use('/parse', api);
console.log(servers[0]);
for (var i = 0; i < servers.length; i++) {
    //Add clients
  app.use('/parse', servers[i]);
}

app.use('/dashboard/', dashboard);

dashboards above is an array of objects.

Thanks for opening the issue? Does it happen when you open the dashboard? Or after trying to log in?

[andresteves]

After trying to login only. The login form is displayed correctly.

@andresteves It seems you are using an very old version of Parse Dashboard.

In the issue description you indicated that you can reproduce the issue with the latest versions of Parse Server and Parse Dashboard and you indicate that you used Parse Dashboard 4.0.1. However in your screenshot it shows version 1.2.0. Could you clarify which version you were using?

[andresteves]

@mtrezza the version I am using is 4.0.1 and one of the screenshots is from the working version I have on another server. I will delete for the sake of not causing confusion.

@mtrezza @davimacedo It was fixed after I changed app.use('/dashboard', dashboard); to app.use('/', dashboard);. Why is that? The mountPath needs to defined somewhere else as well?

[davimacedo]

Yes. You need to set mountPath option.

[mtrezza]

@andresteves Do you think there is something that should be improved in the docs?

[andresteves]

@mtrezza I believe so since by using express does not refer that I need to config mountPath within ParseDashboard constructor

[mtrezza]

@andresteves Do you want to make a PR?

@mtrezza @davimacedo It was fixed after I changed app.use('/dashboard', dashboard); to app.use('/', dashboard);. Why is that? The mountPath needs to defined somewhere else as well?

you saved me. I do exactly the same as you app.use('/dashboard', dashboard);
change to: app.use('/', dashboard); work for me. but i still prefer path /dashboard instead.
