I wanted to display a html page with svg’s.
But it does not work so far: 404 Not Found.
I created a folder “svggui” in /usr/share/openhab/webapps/static containing the html page as index.html.
like explained in this post: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openhab/0PLC5yhXtyc
Owner is root. I also tried openhab as user with no effect.
I tried with different permissions, also no effect.
According to that link, you should put your svggui in the webapps folder, not the webapps/static folder.
What URL are you using to try and access it? If you put it in /usr/share/openhab/webapps/svggui you would access it in your browser with the URL http://<host of openhab server>:<port of openhab server>/svggui
This is how habmin works, for instance.
NOTE: if you are accessing it through my.openhab.org you need to supply the index.html file or else all you will get is Cannot GET /habmin.

I’ve actually had intermittent success though accessing habmin through my.openhab so YMMV.
