I'm playing around with Mystic's web server... I currently use apache ...
It's running on port 80 ... if I try to setup Mystic on an alternate port I
cannot access the web page ...

I used the sub directory that Mystic wanted to make... index.html is the only
file in the directory... Is there something I need to do with my Pi box ???
is there something I'm not looking at??

Thanx

Your index.html and other web server files go in \mystic\webroot\www\ assuming
you installed Mystic to \mystic (or /mystic, same location applies)

I also use Apache on port 80 AND Mystic on port 8080 and it works fine :)

My mystic is installed on /mnt/mystic ergo ... I have checked to see if
things line up ... In saw that you have added the /www directory... So, I
tried that as well. mine now looks like /mnt/mystic/www/ and I have moved an
indext.html file in... and no go.

I wonder if it's a raspberry pi issue... I'll head that way and see if there
is something I should do to the OS to make it work.

Then your index.html, etc., go in /mnt/mystic/webroot/www/

Just a typo when entering the message in /mnt/mystic/webroot/www/index.html

I'm just wondering if there is some bone-headed linux thing I don't
understand. I have Apache running on port 80 though, I'm trying to get
mystic to run on port 8080.

Done that... and I get a 404 error. It's a simple index.html file... and
it's the only file in that directory as well.

I was thinking ... I'm just learning linux as well.... I thought it had
something to do with file attributes ... and the WRX attribs are okay .

There...

Hmmm...I'm no linux guru but I believe if you do a "chmod 644 index.html" plus
do a "chmod 755 www" from webroot then do "chmod 755 webroot" from mystic
things should be ok attribute wise. :) I use Windows 7 here but had a Pi3B
running Apache at one time. :)

The update for windows did not include the web files index.htm. Someone gave
file that include several .exe and one batch file but that still did not
extract the index.htm and the other web files.

Are the files in the "www" directory of the webroot?

I'm on a Pi, so my webroot is /mystic/data/webroot - and my index.html is in
/mystic/data/webroot/www/. Its a trick I fell for. :)
