Description

My system is a brand new raspberry pi os (lite edition, based on bookworm) running on the Pi Zero 2 W.
I am using the Waveshare SX1262 hat with the L76K GNSS module.
I was able to get the thing booting and now I am unable to access anything via the web UI.

The problem:

root@meshtastic:/usr/share/doc/meshtasticd/web# journalctl -xfeu meshtasticd.service

So let's go to that directory and see what's there:

root@meshtastic:/usr/share/doc/meshtasticd/web# ls
apple-touch-icon.png  favicon.ico  icon.svg  index.html  Logo_Black.svg  Logo_White.svg  robots.txt  site.webmanifest  static

And pick any file that the web server should be able to return:

root@meshtastic:/usr/share/doc/meshtasticd/web# cat robots.txt 
User-agent: *
Allow: /

Ok, so let's try to get that:

root@meshtastic:/usr/share/doc/meshtasticd/web# curl --insecure -vvv https://localhost/robots.txt
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:443...

Nothing shows up in the logs for this request so I don't know what's going on. Any ideas?

@kquinsland Try changing

RootPath: /usr/share/doc/meshtasticd/web

to

RootPath: /usr/share/meshtasticd/web

The web directory was recently moved there, as it's a more appropriate location. These are static web files after all, not documentation.
We attempted to symlink from /usr/share/doc/meshtasticd/web to /usr/share/meshtasticd/web in the packaging, but it doesn't appear to be working correctly for all users.
