Trouble accessing local file over http

Goal: Am trying to get an .mp3 to play via Google Home.

System: Running Hass.IO on a raspberry pi, DHCP (with the ip address set via DHCP Reservation)

First problem appears to be: the mp3 file is not accessible over the http server.

I have this file: /config/www/local/welcome.mp3

Permissions of the three subfolders are “drwxr-xr-x”
Permission of welcome.mp3 is “-rw-r–r–”

My /config/configuration.yaml contains:

homeassistant:
  packages: !include_dir_named packages
  whitelist_external_dirs:
    - '/config/www/local'

I have tried rebooting the server.

Whenever I try to access https://192.168.0.2:8123/local/welcome.mp3 I simply get the error:

404: Not Found

Can anyone please tell me why I am unable to access this file over the LAN?

Thankyou

The SMB path /config/www/ points to https://192.168.0.2:8123/local/.
So this /config/www/local would result in https://192.168.0.2:8123/local/local.
