In my REST Api,I am uploading some images. This is my project stucture.
Now inside the public folder there is another folder called images. This is where I upload the images.
However for some reason when I typing the locahost url to a specific image ie http://127.0.0.1:61592/larissaApp/public/images/myImage-1497186011532.jpg I get this message in the browser.
Cannot GET /larissaApp/public/images/myImage-1497186011532.jpg
This is my app.js file.
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/larissaApp';
mongoose.connect(url);
var db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error',console.error.bind(console,'connection error:'));
db.once('open',function(){
console.log("Connected correctly to server");
});
var routes = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');
var newsRouter = require('./routes/newsRouter');
var cityRouter = require('./routes/cityRouter');
var imageRouter = require('./routes/imageRouter');
var app = express();
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
// uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
//app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public/images')));
app.use('/', routes);
app.use('/users', users);
app.use('/news',newsRouter);
app.use('/news',newsRouter);
app.use('/city',cityRouter);
app.use('/image',imageRouter);
// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
var err = new Error('Not Found');
err.status = 404;
next(err);
});
// error handlers
// development error handler
// will print stacktrace
if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error', {
message: err.message,
error: err
});
});
}
// production error handler
// no stacktraces leaked to user
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error', {
message: err.message,
error: {}
});
});
module.exports = app;
I was hoping that this line of code would fix that error.
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public/images')));
but it doesn't. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Theo.
