Error: You do not have permission to access this file.

[exitcas]

Hello,

I've been having this specific error every time I want to create a static file directory. My Prologue app doesn't let me to access to files on my static directory via the browser, stating that I don't have permission to access them. I started checking out the documentation and searching for solutions but nothing popped out.

This is the code that publishes my website:

var app = newApp(settings = newSettings(
  port = Port(8080)
))
app.use(staticFileMiddleware("/static"))
app.addRoute("/", index)
app.addRoute("/signup", signup, @[HttpGet, HttpPost])
app.run()

I would be very thankful if you could help me with this. Thank you, Lucas.

this is an old issue, so idk if you still have this problem, but...

sounds like permissions issues. what OS are you using?

where is that error coming from and being shown? from Prologue itself, in the terminal? or from/in the browser?

Hello,

I was using Ubuntu GNU/Linux.

I already found the solution for myself some time ago, but I forgot to share it and close this thread!

The problem was that the executable couldn't access the files because they didn't have a compatible permission level. Mode 644 worked fine with me, but I'm not a security expert, so don't take it as the optimal choice.

Thank you,
