AWS Elastic Beanstalk wont load static files from public folder for nodejs app
Question
I have deployed the nodejs application with aws eb deploy, client.js is not getting loaded in index.hbs files and returning 404 error (Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found))
I have tried all the step in the internet and wasted two days for this.
Can any one please help me here ? I am doing anything wrong here?
I have tried the solution in this stackover flow page Elastic Beanstalk Static Folder 403 Error but no luck
staticfiles.config (NodejsPlayGround.elasticbeanstalk\\staticfiles.config) file
option_settings:
aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:nodejs:staticfiles:
/public: public
index.hbs (NodejsPlayGround\\views\\index.hbs) file
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>NodeSeverTest</title>
<script src="js/client.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello</h1>
</body>
</html>
server.js (NodejsPlayGround\\server.js) file
'use strict';
const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
const views_path = path.join(__dirname, 'views');
const static_path = path.join(__dirname, 'public')
app.set('view engine', 'hbs');
app.set('views', views_path);
app.get('', (req, res) => {
res.render('index', {
title: 'Weather App',
name: 'ArunKumar Arjunan'
}
);
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log('server started on port ' + port);
});
client.js (NodejsPlayGround\\public\\js\\client.js) file:
console.log('client side java script file is loaded');
client.js file needs to be loaded in index.hbs file

I find that contrary to the AWS documentation on this, the folder path also needs a leading slash — ie you map /public to /public (not just public ), or /static to /static (not just static ).
I figured this out by inspecting the nginx error log and conf files on my EB instances, and both showed that it was looking for my static files in /var/app/currentstatic instead of /var/app/current/static .
