How to serve static files from a different directory than the static path?
Question:
I am trying this:
favicon_path = '/path/to/favicon.ico'
settings = {'debug': True,
'static_path': os.path.join(PATH, 'static')}
handlers = [(r'/', WebHandler),
(r'/favicon.ico', tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path': favicon_path})]
application = tornado.web.Application(handlers, **settings)
application.listen(port)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
But it keeps serving the favicon.ico
that I have in my static_path (I have two different favicon.ico
‘s in two separate paths, as indicated above, but I want to be able to override the one in the static_path
).
Answers:
Delete static_path
from the app settings.
Then set your handler like:
handlers = [
(r'/(favicon.ico)', tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path': favicon_path_dir}),
(r'/static/(.*)', tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path': static_path_dir}),
(r'/', WebHandler)
]
You need to wrap favicon.ico with parenthesis and escape the period in the regular expression. Your code will become
favicon_path = '/path/to/favicon.ico' # Actually the directory containing the favicon.ico file
settings = {
'debug': True,
'static_path': os.path.join(PATH, 'static')}
handlers = [
(r'/', WebHandler),
(r'/(favicon.ico)', tornado.web.StaticFileHandler, {'path': favicon_path})]
application = tornado.web.Application(handlers, **settings)
application.listen(port)
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
There are two ways to do it.
1. use static_url_prefix in settings.
e.g.
settings = dict(
static_path=os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'static'),
static_url_prefix="/adtrpt/static/",
)
2. use custom handler
Append custom handler to handlers
handlers.append((r"/adtrpt/static/(.*)", MyStaticFileHandler, {"path": os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'static')}))
Then implemente your custom methods.
class StaticHandler(BaseHandler):
def get(self):
path = self.request.path
print(path)
self.redirect(BASE_URI + path)
