OK, I know that this question (in various forms) has been asked many times and I've seen all the discussions that google would show me but I still don't know how to get what I want. What I want is to be able to serve static files from seaside (or pier or Comanche or whatever) when I am *developing*. When I push the site to production, I will be using Apache to serve the static files. But while I am developing, it would be nice not to have to run Apace and just run Squeak. I have seen the instructions to make Comanche serve static files (e.g. in Brian Chapados' Pier Design Tutorial) and that does work. My problem is that I have set setName, defaultName and ServerPath so that seaside/pier is *not* in the url. But I don't know how to get Comanche to serve static files with those changes. Can anyone help? Thanks, David _______________________________________________ SmallWiki, Magritte, Pier and Related Tools ... https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/smallwiki

Thanks Jason. I've already seen these instructions. The problem is that they don't work if you are running pier from / instead of / seaside/pier.

Here is what I did: | ma seaside | seaside := WAKom default. ma := ModuleAssembly core. ma serverRoot: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'static') fullName. ma alias: '/' to: [ma addPlug: [:request | seaside process: request]]. ma documentRoot: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'static') fullName. ma serveFiles. (HttpService startOn: 8080 named: 'httpd') plug: ma rootModule This serves static files and serves the root pier page (i.e localhost: 8080/), but I get Not Found for any interior pier pages (i.e. localhost:8080/blog).
