    Hi there! Just tried to customize the not-responding template by creating a file in /home/yellowtent/boxdata/custom_pages/app_not_responding.html as suggested here, but it doesn't seem to get registered. I did chown the folder with yellowtent and even restarted the server, but neither seemed to have done the trick. Am I missing something?

      A server restart should not have been required. Can you check your nginx logs? Also just to make sure, that page should also be served up when you simply stop a working app. Just for testing the custom page here.

        Yea the reboot was just to make sure, I only restarted box before, that didn't work so I tried restarting the server. I've tried by restarting an app instead of stopping it, but it's probably the same thing with either option.

        What exactly am I looking for? (sidenote: system/nginx/logs is empty and "Download Full Logs" results in a 404.)

          @msbt I suspect this is because the app is not using the latest nginx config. Go to the Location view and just click save to re-generate the latest nginx config. After that, stop the app and you should see the not responding page.

            nice catch @girish, I need to regenerate each app config manually, then it works. is there a global cmd to regenate all at once?

              @msbt unfortunately, no. But new apps will get latest config.

                Hi!

                When I create an app_not_responding.html page to use as a custom page and add an image in the html code that I upload to the same directory (/home/yellowtent/boxdata/custom_pages/) , then image doesn't load. I can see the text, but not image.

                I'm putting this code: <img src = "sad-dog.jpg" alt = "upps" width = "30%">

                The html and the image have the appropriate permissions and as owner I have set yellowtent.


                EDITED: Finally I created a folder where I put the images inside, I redirected them in the code and it worked.

                <img src = "/images/sad-dog.jpg" alt = "upps" width = "30%">

                      @mdreira probably a long term solution to embed images is to also embed it inline in the html. You can use a tool like https://base64.guru/converter/encode/image/png
