I can't seem to get the path to 'httpStatic' figured out using the Node-RED that comes pre-installed on the [Opto22 Groov RIO](https://opto22.com/products/groov-rio)... I've setup and used 'httpStatic' many times on the Node-RED installs I've done on Raspberry Pi's and Windows Server without issue.

The one difference I see in this pre-installed setup on the Groov RIO is that it is using...

`httpRoot: '/node-red'`

...and I have 'httpStatic' set as shown below...

`httpStatic: '/home/dev/secured'`

The Node-RED UI is available at (I generically inserted 'ip\_address' for this post)...

`https://ip_address/node-red/`

I've tried to access the png file (which is located in the 'httpStatic' path) I want to display at...

`https://ip_address/filename.png`

...but I just get a `404 Not Found / nginx/1.15.2` error message.

Oh, and yes, I have restarted the Node-RED server after updating the settings.js file... you can see the top of the log file after Node-RED starts back up and everything looks ok.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Am I missing something obvious?

Ah, was about to suggest you post this on the Opto22 forum, but see you have already done that.

I would suggest that Opto22 forum will give the better response being Opto22 oriented, especially as you have found that it worked OK on Raspberry Pi's and Windows servers.

Sorry, I can't help in this case, my setup is Raspberry Pi, Node-Red and PAC R1 so wouldn't really relate. (Will keep an eye on your Opto22 post.)

Best of luck,  
Colin J

Excellent, thought Beno would get on the case as he is a Node-RED evangelist!
