• Static Files

By default Basolato looks for static files in this directory.

Files will be served like so:

./public/css/style.css -> http://example.com/css/style.css

Note: Basolato will only serve files, that are readable by others. On Unix/Linux you can ensure this with chmod o+r ./public/css/style.css.

In production enviroment, static files should be served by Web server application such as Nginx.
