Problem with Static Files Serving

[reza miri]

Hello to those who see this,

I have a problem running two simple applications in Cherrypy where I want to:

• mount Root() to handle static data in the "/" endpoint
• mount NodeApi() to handle Json Rest requests using the default dispatcher in the "/api" endpoint

The code is as follows:

===============================================

class Root(object):
        pass

class NodeApi(object):

        #some implemented functions accessible via @cherrypy.expose

================================================

ROOT_CONF = {
'/': {
        'tools.sessions.on': True,
        'tools.staticdir.root': ".../project/static" ,
        'tools.staticdir.index': ".../project/static/index.html"
},

================================================

cherrypy.tree.mount(root=Root(), '/', config=ROOT_CONF)
cherrypy.tree.mount(root=NodeApi(), script_name='/api')
cherrypy.engine.start()
cherrypy.engine.block()

================================================

The cherrypy runner code (main.py) is placed in the ".../project" directory. The problem is that I can succesfully send request at http://...../api/somefunction and recieve desired result in json format, but I can't accesss my static data such as:

1. http://......./   --> return .../project/static/index.html
2. http://......./   --> return .../project/static/index.html
3. http://...../assets/main.js  --> return .../project/static/assets/main.js
4. http://...../assets/icon.png  --> return .../project/static/assets/icon.png

Unbelivebly some "/assets/..." would be resolved and some don't, also non of the static files within the "/project/statics" would be resolve at the root endpoint.

Overall, I think that I haven't choose the right method to implement this, any help on my issue or alternative solution is appriciated.

Tnx in advance,

reza

I wouldn't mount both `Root()` and the static handler on `'/'`. Try using `'/assets/'` instead.

 

        'tools.staticdir.root': ".../project/static" ,

I believe you may have to use full absolute directory path for this.

 

        'tools.staticdir.index': ".../project/static/index.html"

I've just checked some of my snippets, and it seems this could be just `'index.html'`.
