Folder tree structure

I created a project directory structure is as follows:

With path is: ~/project/test-static-server

Start server

I started server by using:

  • -r ~/project/test-static-server is the path to root folder project, default is current folder location.

Open your browser and enter to location: http://localhost:8888
