      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?
