Dash multipage app server issue - dash.exceptions.NoLayoutException

Following guidelines to structure a multipage dash app here: https://dash.plotly.com/urls

Trying to replicate and adjust following the example in the link, adding one layer on top for execution.

My project directory is as such:

-- wsgi.py
|-- multipageapp
    |-- app.py
    |-- index.py
    |-- Procfile
    |-- apps
       |-- __init__.py
       |-- app1.py
       |-- app2.py

It works fine if I go in the multipageapp folder and execute the index.py file from there. However, I am getting the following error when executing the wsgi.py file, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, it seems like it match what's in the example:

Make sure to set the `layout` attribute of your application
before running the server.

Found out a way to make it work. I simply moved the content of 'index.py' into 'wsgi.py', deleted 'index.py' and I adjusted the imports to have folder 'multipageapp' inside
