[hakanoktay]

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

Caddy v2.2.1

2. How I run Caddy:

sudo systemctl start caddy

a. System environment:

ubuntu 18.04

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

www.domain.tdl {
    root * /path/to/www
    file_server
}

3. The problem I’m having:

Does Caddy running as a service have read access to that file? Does it work if you run Caddy from the command line?
