Question

I tried now many things and I googled for hours but I couldn’t solve my problem.

Config File:

[/] 
tools.staticdir.root = "/Users/phil/Dropbox/Projects/AppName" 

[/main.css] 
tools.staticfile.on = True 
tools.staticfile.filename = "/Users/phil/Dropbox/Projects/AppName/css/main.css" 

[/images] 
tools.staticdir.on = True 
tools.staticdir.dir = "images" 

CherryPy Code:

import cherrypy, os
class AppName(object):
def index(self):
    return "<img src='images/logo.jpeg'>"
index.exposed = True

cherrypy.config.update('/Users/phil/Dropbox/Projects/AppName/conf/AppName.config')
cherrypy.quickstart(AppName())

My problem is that it doesn’t work, I tried everything with combining paths and so on but the image and the css won’t load when I do sth like return ‘”

Here is the error I get when loading my Application:

127.0.0.1 - - [24/May/2012:22:28:47] "GET /images/logo.jpeg HTTP/1.1" 404 1268 "http://localhost:8080/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_4) AppleWebKit/536.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/19.0.1084.46 Safari/536.5"

Not sure what the Problem was, but this works:

[/]
tools.staticdir.root = "/Users/phil/Dropbox/Projects/AppName"

[/images]
tools.staticdir.on = True
tools.staticdir.dir = "images"

Start App with:

cherrypy.quickstart(AppName(), '/', 'AppName.config')

CherryPy Code:

def index(self):
    return "<img src='/images/logo.jpeg'>"
index.exposed = True

I think the / before the images is also important. Thanks to all
