There seems to be much confusion about images, their directories and how to serve static files.

The static content page of the Wiki should give 5 different examples, not one. Also, the example should be the bare minimum.

Anyway, this works:

import os.path
import cherrypy

class Root:
   @cherrypy.expose
   def index(self):
   return """ <html>
<head>
<title>CherryPy static test</title>
</head>
<html>
<body>
<p>Testing images from image dir</p>
<img src="images/today.png" width="640" height="480" border="0">
</body>
</html>"""

if __name__ == '__main__':
   current_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
   # Set up site-wide config first so we get a log if errors occur.
   cherrypy.config.update({'server.socket_host': '10.0.0.212',
   'server.socket_port': 80, })

   conf = {'/images': {'tools.staticdir.on': True,
   'tools.staticdir.dir': os.path.join(current_dir, 'images')}}

   cherrypy.quickstart(Root(), '/', config=conf)

where the image "today.png" is in the /images directory of the directory where the python file is.

This works under FreeBSD 6.3, Cherrypy 3.1

Here is an even smaller example:

import cherrypy

class Root:
@cherrypy.expose
def index(self):
return """ <html>
<head>

<title>CherryPy static tutorial</title>

</head>
<html>
<body>
<p>Testing images from image dir</p>
<img src="images/today.png" width="640" height="480" border="0">
</body>
</html>"""

cherrypy.config.update({'server.socket_host': '10.0.0.212',
'server.socket_port': 80, })

conf = {'/images': {'tools.staticdir.on': True,

'tools.staticdir.dir': '/home/eur/cherrypy/images'}}
cherrypy.quickstart(Root(), '/', config=conf)
