Re: Static URL in cherrypy

Hi SuperTwister,

have a look at
Tutorial 2: Different URLs lead to different functions 
<http://docs.cherrypy.org/en/latest/tutorials.html#id4> if you modifie the 
example as this:

import random
import string

import cherrypy

class MyHome(object):
    @cherrypy.expose
    def index(self):
        raise cherrypy.HTTPRedirect("/home")

    @cherrypy.expose
    def home(self):
        return "hello world"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cherrypy.quickstart(MyHome())


you should get to the home path every time you try to access your route.

to server static things have a look at 
Static content serving - Serving a whole directory 
<http://docs.cherrypy.org/en/latest/basics.html#serving-a-whole-directory>

iam using something like this for my static things:
.......

dir_current = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

......

class StaticFiles(object):

    """only there to have a class..."""

    pass
    # _cp_config = {
    #     'tools.staticdir.on': True,
    #     # 'tools.staticdir.root': dir_static,
    #     # 'tools.staticdir.dir': '',
    #     'tools.staticdir.index' : 'index.html'
    # }
#


....

# config static tool
    dir_static = os.path.join(dir_current, 'static')
    configStatic = {
        '/': {
            'tools.staticdir.on': True,
            'tools.staticdir.root': dir_static,
            'tools.staticdir.dir': '',
            'tools.staticdir.index': 'index.html'
        },
    }

    cherrypy.tree.mount(StaticFiles(), '', configStatic)

....

    # start cherrypy
    print('')
    print('******************************************')
    print('')
    print('cherrypy server - start engine:')
    cherrypy.engine.start()
    cherrypy.engine.block()


eventually that helps you?!

sunny greetings
