Serving static files through apache

Question

I am new to the whole mod_wsgi and serving files through apache. I am really comfortable with flask but this is something i can't get my head around. I did the hello-world program and successfully displayed hello world! Now i wanted to display a image file. So I updated my hello-world.py to: ``` from flask import * yourflaskapp = Flask(__name__) @yourflaskapp.route("/") def hello(): file="203.jpg" return render_template("hello.html",file=file) # return"HEY" if __name__ == "__main__": yourflaskapp.run() ``` my directory structure is something like:/var/www/hello-world ``` /hello-world test.py yourflaskapp.wsgi /static -203.jpg /templates -hello.html ``` My template is simple: ``` hi

``` and my apache conf file is: ``` WSGIDaemonProcess yourflaskapp WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/hello-world/yourflaskapp.wsgi Alias /static/ /var/www/hello-world/static A…

Accepted Answer

It is generally always a good idea to have trailing slash balanced when mounting static files at a sub URL. So instead of:

```
Alias /static/ /var/www/hello-world/static
```

use:

```
Alias /static /var/www/hello-world/static
```
