We have a request to have the home page automatically referenced one of the dashboard that we have built for them.
However, it is not possible to define a home page within Canvas, so we consulted Paul and got a workaround by replacing the dashboard.html to home.html, and everything should just work. (But this was from the previous version of Canvas)
Now we have upgraded to the latest version of Canvas, this trick seems not working anymore, it’s always redirecting to sample-home, tried to do F12 trace, nothing valuable returned.
That should be just alright. have you checked the WEB-INF/config/settings.json? That is where you will find that setting about demo. Could you check and verify what is the value in there? If it is true, change it to false for now and restart the server afterwards.
