Can't get images into node red dashboard from windows

I'm trying to upload an image into an html template node in node red, I'v changed httpStatic to: 

httpStatic: 'C:\\images',

and uncommented: 

httpAdminRoot: '/admin',

in settings.js file and I restarted Node Red but it didn't work, knowing that I tried different pathes to my image. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong ?!

This is my testing flow

And this is the error I'm having on the browser enter image description here

Solution

  • You have edited the wrong copy of settings.js. The copy in the install directory (which you edited) is used as the default and copied to the userDir the first time Node-RED is run.

    The version of settings.js that you are actually using is output to the log at start up, but it will most likely be in the following directory:

    c:\Users\alma\.node-red
