javascript - Express Cannot GET images - Stack Overflow

文章数量:1332881

I'm using Express and for some reason, when using JavaScript I can access images but whenever I try and directly implement the image route to the src such as

<img src="images/background.png">

The localhost determines that it is unable to get the image.

I'm pointing a static to a /public route in the server.js file which is why it is baffling me as to why it can receive some images but not all?

This is my current line that determines the public route.

app.use(express.static('public'));

Try a absolute path definition:

var path = require('path');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

Your directroy structure should look like this:

 server.js -> "where app.use(express.static()) is defined"
 ---| public
 -------| images
 -----------| background.png

I couldnt GET my png because there were some invisible characters in the name of the file. Make sure there are no special characters in the file name, you can try renaming it.
