I have a set of xml files that are to be read by a flash file externally. In my django app on webfaction I generate these xml files and a set of images, that the external flash objects read (not from another domain, being run on a client machine with a flash player ie. no cross-domain policy issue). I am serving the xml and image files in my static media webapp, but it seems that I cannot access these files externally due to their permissions. I need public read access on these xml and image directories. The webfaction documentation says to use setfacl, but only talks about doing so for specific users. I did not find the setting for public access, however maybe there is a more standard method for allowing read access to media in a webapp in general?

You can use either a static-only app or a static/cgi/php app to serve your files. As long as you add the app to a site, then it should be publicly accessible. If you've added the app to a site and it's not working for some reason, feel free to open a support ticket and we'll take a closer look at your setup. answered 02 Dec '10, 14:22 seanf Ok, typical, a little problem with an extra backslash so it returned a 404, fixed it and now it works...ugh. Thanks for response, I was sure that it was a permissions problem, but your input got me to doubt my code, which probably i should do more often. Cheers!

Have you added your static media app to your site at https://panel.webfaction.com/site/list ?
Yes, I created a static media app (static only no .htaccess) and added it, it's working fine for hosting my media for the django app. What I need is to host media for public access, as in to have a directory with an xml file that can be accessed by url externally. Would it make sense to create another static media app STATIC/CGI/PHP to host media that is able to be accessed publicly?
