**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 4.4.7  
My PHP version is: PHP 8.0.28  
My Database type and version is:

**Your problem**  
My problem is: Static files like images seem to be missing after a fresh installation [using composer](https://docs.mautic.org/en/setup/how-to-install-mautic/install-and-manage-mautic-with-composer).

These errors are showing in the log:

On the backend dashboard the browser log tells me:

```auto
GET https://nl.mysite.com/media/images/avatar.png?ssl=1 404
GET https://nl.mysite.com/media/images/favicon.ico?v95b88f97 404

```

On another page, which should render a mautic form:

```auto
mautic-form.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

```

Tryning to load/visit `https://nl.mysite.com/media/js/mautic-form.js?v95b88f97` with the browser renders Mautic’s 404 page.

**Clearly some static files are missing. How do I build them?**

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

- Cleared the cache, didn’t help.
- Checked the site URL config. it correctly points to `https://nl.mysite.com/`

**Notes**

- Site uses `https`
- Mautic resides on the **nl**.mysite.com subdomain.
