I am trying to serve static files with Hunchentoot, from the www directory inside my project. My acceptor is defined as:
(defvar *acceptor* (make-instance 'easy-acceptor
:port 4242
:document-root (truename "./www/")))
I then start it with:
(start *acceptor*)
The acceptor works, in that I can use define-easy-handler to create a root page:
(define-easy-handler (index :uri "/") ()
(with-html-output-to-string (_)
(:html
(:head
(:title "Hello world")
(:body
(:h1 "Hello world!))))))
... and when I browse to http://localhost:4242/ I see that page.
But no static files are served from my www directory. E.g. if I create www/jquery-3.2.1.min.js and browse to http://localhost:4242/jquery-3.2.1.min.js I receive a 404.

You must ensure that the directory and the files in it have proper permissions set. The directory needs to have the execute x permission to allow the server program to access the contents of the directory, and files need at least the read r permission.
