B4J Question B4J Server template 404 error only when packaged

[CBruce]

Note: I'm brand new to B4X and Java

I'm starting simple... downloaded, installed, launched, and setup B4J.exe (with B4X OpenJDK)... and chose a [New][Server] project.

The only two changes I made:

#PackagerProperty: ExeName = B4JServerTest
    'srvr.Port = 51042
    srvr.Port = 80

Everything works fine if I run the server inside the IDE - no problem to connect with a local or remote web browser and play "Guess My Number".

And I am able to successfully package the project with no errors.

But the packaged version of the project fails when I try to connect from a browser...

HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /. Reason:
    Not Found

I'm obviously hitting the packaged Jetty web server - but I have no idea where to start troubleshooting the 404 error... help?!?!

Thanks,

I don't see a way to edit my OP subject title to say [Solved?] - (maybe limited because I'm a newbie here), but it is sort of solved...

I originally just copied these folders and file to "C:\dodo" folder to run the server (per the packager instructions in the forum):
"C:\B4J\test_2021-09-10_1419\Objects\temp\build\bin"
"C:\B4J\test_2021-09-10_1419\Objects\temp\build\conf"
"C:\B4J\test_2021-09-10_1419\Objects\temp\build\legal"
"C:\B4J\test_2021-09-10_1419\Objects\temp\build\lib"
"C:\B4J\test_2021-09-10_1419\Objects\temp\build\B4JServerTest.exe"

I've been playing around with this and I just found I can make it work if I also copy the generated "C:\B4J\test_2021-09-10_1419\Objects\www" folder to the "C:\dodo\bin" folder.

I didn't see that anywhere in any of the directions, so I don't know if this is the correct solution, a good/bad practice, or if I am only having to do this because I made a mistake somewhere else.
