How to set root path for static files in ServiceStack self-host

Question

All of the ServiceStack self-host examples serve static files from the same directory as the console or service executable assembly.

Is there a way to change the rooth path to something else?

When I set Config.WebHostPhysicalPath to a different path from within AppHostHttpListenerBase.Configure , my html file had to exist in both places for ServiceStack to return anything.

I was wondering the same thing so I dug into the SS source and found an issue that prevents the Config.WebHostPhysicalPath from working with static files. You can read about it here: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/issues/352
