the error is : File Not Found. Yes, I have apache, and also tried on dev
machine at localhost. Problem is when adding the file path to template, like:
<a href="[% myvar %]">listen</a>, and myvar =
'/var/www/html/myfolder/myfile.wav'; when move the cursor over "listen" the
link is : http://localhost:3000/var/www/html/myfolder/myfile.wav or
http://www.mydomain.com/var/www/html/myfolder/myfile.wav
Obviously, this is the wrong path to the file. How can I drop the http://...
before the real path? Thank you
Your browser is assuming the http:// scheme since href value is relative.
If you want to serve via local fs, then you probably want file:// instead.
if you want to serve the .wav via http, you need the http:// scheme on there,
and you'll want to come up with a structure for serving static content that
doesn't use your Cat app directly. The way I do it is to have all my static
content served under a separate apache vhost, and then in my Cat code, set that
static url base in my config. So my .tt files look like:
<a href="[% page.static %]/thing/I/want/to/serve">thing</a>
The Static::Simple plugin lets you serve static content from Cat itself, but
that's intended for devel only since tying up Cat time with static content is
considered Not a Best Practice. So I just avoid it altogether and run a separate
apache process on my dev box that serves my static content for me. That way
moving from dev to production is as simple as changing the config definition for
[% page.static %].
