It seems that the component is running fine. So, I am pretty sure its your placement of directory and file.

Where did you put the staticfiles folder?

And can you paste your link (for the menu item) here?

One more thing: Don't multiple post. A lot of people don't like it. Use the edit button please. Thanks.

Ok I will use edit button from now on

static foder is hmmm this is my mambo folder and I rename it ti test:
/local/test
and static is
/local/test/static
file:
/local/test/static/myfile.html
URL:
index.php?option=com_static&staticfile=myfile.html

ok..

/local/test/static <- is wrong. It MUST BE /local/staticfiles
So you will have your static html like this:

/local/staticfiles/myfile.htm

And url:
index.php?option=com_static&staticfile=myfile.html change it to

index.php?option=com_static&staticfiles=myfile.html

Notice the "s" at the back of staticfile

See how it goes.

my bad this si how it is

static foder is hmmm this is my mambo folder and I rename it ti test:
/local/test
and staticfiles folder is
/local/test/staticfiles
file:
/local/test/staticfiles/myfile.html
URL:
index.php?option=com_static&staticfile=myfile.html

I tried what you said it is not working here is the error:

Put the file(s) in the staticfiles directory or a subdirectory of it.
Usage:
index.php?option=com_static&staticfile=filename.ht ml
or
index.php?option=com_static&staticfile=directoryna me/filename.html

the previus error did find the dir but not the file
let me put in anoher file

so that means your mambo is running on Local.. not on local/test right?

Is it working now?

Hey.. don't give up easily..

Try uninstalling and install it again. Do it step by step. Because it worked quite ok over here. If needed, I'll assist you with some screenshots but hey.. if I haven't given up on helping you, why should you?

Actually, I was having the exact same trouble yesterday. I was following the example from another forum post and received the same errors. I am going to try following the exact steps you mentioned here, so I will edit this post after that.

Thanks!
