Hello!
this question is simular to this post on here but they dont come to any conlusion there.
On my site I have a link to my pdf file like so:
<a href="/mypdf.pdf" download>mypdf</a>
My pdf is located in my static folder.
Heres the issue, when i run my server locally, my link works and I can download the file.
BUT when i deploy my site to surge.sh, it doesn’t appear there.
I run these commands when i deploy:
hugo
surge public\
after hugo my public structure looks like this:
project
`-- public
|-- css
|-- js
|-- img
|-- 404.html
|-- index.html
|-- mypdf.pdf
|-- index.xml
`-- sitemap.xml
Ive tried ctrl+f5 on the site, so refreshing it a dozen times, re did the hugo process, tried fiddling with the link path.
Other files like images seem to work fine.
what else could i try?
