Hello, I receive the following error message:

An error has occurred

The application failed to start.

exit status 1

Here are the logs:

Issue is that, the path does exist when I run it on R. I am confused.

When you install a Shiny app on shinyapps.io, bear in mind that their file system is different from yours. If you need to include auxiliary files besides the app itself (and any libraries it uses), you should (a) put them in the app directory or a subdirectory thereof (possibly not necessary, but safer), (b) ensure that they are included among the files you upload during the installation process and (c) reference them in the app using relative rather than absolute file paths.
