Question

i have set the static web directory for use in my nodejs app:

app.use express.static(process.cwd(), 'www')

This brings up all the static files like css, images etc, when im in the root it works

http://localhost:8124/

however if i go to somewhere like /tags, it deosnt bring up the static files:

http://localhost:8124/tags/

i get 404 error on the console because its trying to access the www folder
with

/tags/www/ ….

im not sure how to solve this problem, thanks

It looks like you’re referring to static assets, without leading /, this results in appending relative asset address to the current URL. Instead refer to your static assets with leading /

eg. /www/style.css rather than www/style.css
