Hi <@UM5G69R8W> I can see you asked the same question before. I am also having an issue on displaying favicon.ico from index.html.
I tried with a new png image (favicon.png)  as per the w3 recommendation, but still it is a 404 when called from index.html.
How did you manage to show the favicon?  Do we need to host externally and give an absolute url?

This is working fine on <https://kvision.io> website:
<https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-io/tree/main/src/main/web>

Now it works with a link tag in the head section
`&lt;link rel="icon" href="tpnet.png" type="image/png"&gt;`

Thanks, both.  Somehow it doesn't show when run as jar.. It works when I run frontend separately.  It must be something with the setup.. I have my image under src/frontendMain/web/img/favicon.png. and have this tag.

&lt;link rel="icon" href="img/favicon.png" type="image/png"&gt;

can you download the image directly with /img/favicon.png url?

Nope, it gives 404 on <http://localhost:8080/img/favicon.png>

and <http://localhost:8080/index.html> works?

it looks similar to your previous problem, when something intercepted requests to the backend server

could you check the content of your fatjar? in `BOOT-INF/lib` you should have a `&lt;project&gt;-frontend-&lt;version&gt;.jar` file

and inside this jar you should have all the resources in `/public' (including `public/img/favicon.png`)

if its there, then something indeed probably intercepts your requests - perhaps you have some custom configuration (like authentication), maybe some filters? or there is some custom configurations in your libraries

To answer your first question;   Yes the localhost:8080/index.html works (without the favicon).  Then inside the frontend jar the public folder has my favicon but saved as. 3a29438d1ce163ced44546183b57743c.png

And you have `src/frontendMain/web/img/` folder in your project but no `img` inside frontend jar `/public/`?

what about `build/distributions` - is `img` there?

are you sure you have your favicon inside `src/frontendMain/web/img` and not `src/frontendMain/resources/img`?

ah maybe that is the issue..  I have my img folder under /src/frontendMain/resources .   As all other images are under that folder and works.   I will move it to web/img and try

Just to explain: the things in the `resources` folder should be used with the `require()` function and are processed by webpack (images are mangled, css inlined, etc.), the `web` folder on the other hand is just copied to the destination bundle (zip file, fatjar etc) and all elements can be used directly from the browser (and from the `index.html` file).
