I am tryin to develop on app engine and in the list of the errors displayed in the admin console I always see
/favicon.ico
i read the documentation , added a new folder called static and added this in my app.yaml
- url: /favicon.ico static_files: static/favicon.ico upload: static/favicon.ico but even now i a getting the same error...
This entry should be placed before the entry for the main handler, like:
- url: /favicon.ico static_files: media/img/favicon.ico upload: media/img/favicon.ico - url: /robots.txt static_files: media/robots.txt upload: media/robots.txt - url: .* script: main.py The entries are processed in order of apperance and first one that matches wins.
If you are doing this in Java, I got rid of the error by putting a blank "favicon.ico" file in the "war" directory.
If you want to make your own quick and ugly "favicon.ico" file, this website was super easy to use: http://www.favicon.cc/
For your application, favicon.ico should be a static image. You can upload a favicon.ico file with your application, and in your app.yaml file configure your application to serve the image when the url /favicon.ico is requested. Below is an example entry in your app.yaml file for /favicon.ico. We assume you include the favicon.ico file in the directory path static/images:
- url: /favicon.ico static_files: static/images/favicon.ico upload: static/images/favicon.ico is written here
