Error: 404 Not Found

Hey ya, I know this issue has probably been dealt with before, however I can’t find any proper workarounds to it.

I am getting this message: `Error: 404 Not Found Sorry, the requested URL ‘http://localhost:8000/main.html’ caused an error:

File does not exist.`

Everytime I run a test eel project. First I had issues with Python displaying a osError because some other program was using port 8000. After I killed that task to leave that port free for eel, it only showed me the message you can see above.

Here’s the code:

eeltest.py `import eel

eel.init(‘web’) eel.start(‘main.html’)`

main.html <p>Hola</p>

Any help will be very appreciated in advance.

I already had have the same problem and i was be able to solved. The way i’ve solved is just change the line:

eel.init('web')

to the absolute path, like

eel.init('C:/.../web') where my web folder is

I hope that helps!

I found out the solution, kill all the processes running on that port. I didn’t get any error because it crashed on startup.

Anyone who is stuck here, the fix is:

• Kill the processes on the port by using fuser -k [port_name]/tcp.
• Build the file using the steps mentioned here.
• Run the executable again! It works now!

This is not related to the cache as mentioned above, I tried clearing the cache as well keeping the cache.
