Web root in config & command line

[rjmoggach]

I haven't found documentation on where the web folder is expected to live. Ideally this would be configurable to point to a user directory Eg. /home/mine/web/excavator either via command line flag -wrd ---web-root-dir or in the config file.

robmoggach, have you find solution of web folder placement?

@lexkanev web folder has to be in the same folder you run the binary from.

@dropky so, my binary is in /opt/excavator/bin/ and I copied there the web folder (with index.html in it), ran in bash "excavator -wp 8080 -wi 192.168.1.1 -c default.json", go to "http://192.168.1.1:8080/" and get "404 Not Found".
But when I do json request to http api I can get data properly.
What is my mistake?

Are you sure you're running excavator from /opt/excavator/bin directory?

Like this:
cd /opt/excavator/bin; excavator -wp 8080 -wi 192.168.1.1 -c default.json

@dropky thnx! Now it's working properly! Before this I used to start commands: "excavator ...." and "/opt/excavator/bin/excavator -wp ..." but not doing "cd " to the folder.
Thank you very much!
