I don't know if it was some kind of cache thingy but I noticed that GET /favicon.ico kept on redirecting to /media/img/favicon.ico on runserver. Therefore in my urls.py, I had to catch a url pattern like r'^media/img/favicon\.ico$' then redirect it to '/static/img/favicon.ico' because r'^favicon.ico$' would throw a 404. However after a system reboot, GET /favicon.ico is what it is. Thanks sir. > > In production, Apache has /favicon.ico redirecting to where I actually > keep it - which is with other static images.
