Hi Thomas. Yes, your man page was one of the docs I used to try and get
things working. The Apache access log reports the assets were served
with 200 code:
[14/Aug/2026:12:46:43 +0100] "GET /got.png HTTP/1.1" 200
As I wrote in the first post, everything seems to be working fine apart
from the static files. My Apache conf is below if that reveals anything
stupid I've done / not done:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName got.simonh.uk
DocumentRoot /var/www/got
<Directory /var/www/htdocs/gotwebd>
Require all granted
</Directory>
# Pass all requests to the gotwebd FastCGI socket
<Directory /var/www/got/public>
Options +ExecCGI
Require all granted
</Directory>
# Forward the root or scripts to gotwebd via Unix Socket
SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/www/got/gotwebd.sock|fcgi://localhost"
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/gotweb_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/gotweb_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
And the permsissions look ok to me:
root@server:/var/www# ls -lha htdocs/gotwebd/
