Bare bones page may have config issues

[Jack Eisenbach]

Hi,

I  seem to be having issues when configuring Cherrypy. I created a bare bones site that should display a jpeg from the static/images folder. It should also format the page from details provided from the static/css/style.css page. The problems I have  are: the image is not displayed and the background is not light Blue in color. I have attached the 4 files. Thanks in advance for all assistance. i've been stuck for weeks trying to resolve these issues. I have not been able to find a bare bones example using Cherrypy to do the above.

Kind regards, Please disregard my previous posts with similar question. I had some typos in them.

Hi Jack,

I think it's best to post text directly or use something like a GitHub
Gist or a regular repository on GitHub.
It's hard to reason about things that aren't immediately visible in
the mailing list archive.
For example, one may want to add a comment to your code. It's
impossible with an attachment but it's
easy to do if there's some snippet in the previous email that can be quoted.

Here's an example:
> def hello(world):
> print(word)

The comment *here* would be that there's a typo in this line.

> return world


Also, if the source is really big, it's better to come up with a
minimal reproducer that would have way
fewer lines and rip off all the unrelated parts to help everyone focus
on important things.

Hi Sviatoslav,

I took a previous project and minimalized it as much as possible and renamed it bb.py for barebones.py. 

The lquickstart ine near the end of the file is:

cherrypy.quickstart(BB(), '/'. 'bb.config')

The bb.config file contains:

[/]

tools.sessions.on: True

path = 'C:\\workspace\\CP'

[/static]

tools.staticdir.on : True

tools.staticdir.root : "C:\\workspace\\CP\\"

tools.staticdir.dir : "/workspace/CP/static"

tools.staticfile.on = True

tools.staticfile.filename = 'C:\workspace\CP\static\css\style.css'

[/static/css]

tools.staticdir.on : True

tools.staticdir.root : "/workspace/CP/"

tools.staticdir.dir : "workspace/CP/static/css/"

I have looked at other examples and modified the above code numerous times with no success.

Do you see anything obviously wrong with the config above?

Thanks,

jack

Your config file has some issues:

[/]
tools.sessions.on: True
path = 'C:\\workspace\\CP'


[/static]
tools.staticdir.on : True
tools.staticdir.root : "C:\\workspace\\CP\\"
tools.staticdir.dir : "/workspace/CP/static"
tools.staticfile.on = True
tools.staticfile.filename = 'C:\workspace\CP\static\css\style.css'

[/static/css]
tools.staticdir.on : True
tools.staticdir.root : "/workspace/CP/"
tools.staticdir.dir : "workspace/CP/static/css/"

That's going to make the path for requests in /static/css
"/workspace/CP/workspace/CP/static/css".  I think you just want this:

[/]
tools.sessions.on: True
path = 'C:\\workspace\\CP'

tools.staticdir.root: "C:\\workspace\\CP"

[/static]
tools.staticdir.on : True
tools.staticdir.dir : "static"

[/static/css]
tools.staticdir.on : True
tools.staticdir.dir : "static/css/"

Thanks Tim, I tried your suggested changes but I still don't see the traffic.jpg image after browsing. Is there something else I should try?
