Hi everybody,

I am currently setting up a new node red environment and have installed node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel

Afterwards I followed the instructions to set up the alexa-account, where I get lost.  
I followed the instructions from here (section setup)

Auth method is proxy by default. After I follow the URL in the node-red status I am redirected to an amazon login page. I enter my credentials there and afterwards I receive a 404 from Amazon. Thats it, no login.

Whatever I try, even switching the auth methods I can't get it managed to log in.

Whats going on there?

Solved this.

Seems the filepath was wrong...
