myModule/public folder not working

mortenbirkelund

Hi
When i read the readme. for module development, it says

modulename/public - Any files in this folder can be accesed via the browser on /modulename/filename.ext.

But whenever i place a file in that folder, i get the following error

Cannot GET /myModule/myFile.htm

Is this an error in MagicMirror, or is it an error in my setup? I have tried to set permission to 777 of the files in public, without any luck.

@mortenbirkelund shouldn’t it be modules/modulename/filename?
or try the entire path /home/pi/MagicMirrors/modules/modulename/filename ?

The full path of the location is /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/myModule/public/myFile.htm

According to the documentation this file should be reachable from http://localhost:8080/myModule/myFile.htm
but this doesnt work.

After tried several different combinations i’ve found that this one works.
http://localhost.8080/modules/myModule/public/myFile.htm

Have i misread the documentation or is that an error?
