Using Google App Engine for static files

Question

I want to serve the static data for my website from Google App Engine.

How do I configure GAE to serve static content?

Answer 1

The documentation on how to get GAE to serve static content is here: Using Static Files.

It's rather simple, you just define a static directory in your app.yaml file.

handlers:
- url: /stylesheets
  static_dir: stylesheets

Answer 2

You want all files served as static so should use this:

handlers:
- url: /
  static_dir: /

Answer 3

I wrote article step by step to setup GAE to host static files. http://www.ivankristianto.com/internet/tools/setup-your-google-app-engine-application-to-use-your-own-domain/1656/
