2sxc App import fails (404)

Question

Trying to import any app into 2sxc, but keep getting message "Had an error talking to the server (404)". The url it is trying to hit is http://www.dnndev.me/desktopmodules/2sxc/api/app-sys/ImportExport/ImportContent.

Repro steps:

1. Download this package http://autoinstall.2sexycontent.org/Packages/2SexyContent-GettingStarted-01.00.06.zip (because autoconfigure, per this tutorial https://2sxc.org/en/install-basic-content-types-and-templates, 500's, but appears to be trying to find this package)
2. Add a Content module to my page
3. Click Pencil->Admin on the new module
4. Click App
5. Click Import Parts
6. Select the package, hit import
7. Error message appears

Note: this also fails when using a package exported from a functioning DNN install with the same DNN and 2sxc versions.

Info: DNN 9.0.2.00 (366) 2sxc App and Content 9.14.0 .NET 4.6 Windows Server 2012, SQLExpress 2012, IIS 7.5

Thanks a ton for any help.

This was a bug in 2sxc 9.x - it's resolved in newer versions. I recommend 9.32.1 LTS - see https://github.com/2sic/2sxc/releases
