tracd gives 404 for static files pointed to by htdocs_location

[ilias@…]

htdocs_location = /P:/static

the file "P:/static/js/jquery.js" (and all others) exist

but tracd raises the following when accessing a page:

127.0.0.1 - - [20/Jan/2008 10:17:26] "GET /P:/static/js/jquery.js HTTP/1.1" 404

any hint / workaround here?

Sure - the htdocs_location is for URL, not file system location.

The idea is that you have a copy of static files somewhere, you make a special location in Apache (or whatever) that answer to a certain fixed URL - like /chrome pointing to your storage on disk. Then when you set /chrome in your htdocs_location, Trac will generate links that point to this external location instead of making the default /trac/project/chrome/common/file-type links. That location can can even be on another server.
