Resource not found : Exception Directory does not exist: resources ring.middleware.file/ensure-dir (file.clj:12)

Question

I am deploying a Clojure project built on luminus on Ubuntu server. When I try to start my server I get the following exception:

Exception Directory does not exist: resources  ring.middleware.file/ensure-dir (file.clj:12)

This is my project.clj file

thanks. I realised that git does not commit empty folders and my resources folder was empty — oloo, Mar 20 '14 at 15:17

I believe Leiningen uses the resources directory as the classpath root. Typically resources/public is where you store your static web assets like images, javascript, and stylesheets. If you create those directories you should be good.

Here are some references for you:

Resources in Clojure applications

Serving static files with ring/compojure - from a war

Finally, from the luminus documentation itself:
