Just for posterity, I wanted to note how I got css to work, both in my html files and my Django admin files, when using Django under Apache on Windows. My discoveries were a bit different than pacman's, but this thread was very helpful and I wanted to give something back. :)
For me, it was a 4 step process. 1. Tell Apache to map webpaths to filesystem paths. 2. Tell Apache it's okay to access those filesystem paths. 3. Tell Apache not to use a handler for those webpaths. 4. Tell Django to use those webpaths for admin css files. The long version follows- 1. Add some alias paths in the apache conf. Since django's settings.py file expects to see web paths, you need to use apache's alias_module settings to map webpaths [using names of your choosing] into the filesystem paths where you want to direct django to look for css files. <IfModule alias_module... # (my chosen alias for a path towards my chosen css dir) Alias /webpath "C:/Intranet" # (my chosen alias for a path towards django's given admin css dir) Alias /django_admin "C:/Python25/Lib/site-packages/django/contrib/ admin" </IfModule> 2. The apache IfModule section has some recommendation comments around the Alias: section about adding <Directory> sections to allow access to the directories. Follow those recommendations by adding the following to explicitly tell apache to allow access to the filesystem paths from step 1. <Directory "C:/Intranet"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <Directory "C:/Python25/Lib/site-packages/django/contrib/admin"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> 3. Using django's recommended Location directives in apache's conf, set handlers to None for the css webpaths. # (my chosen alias from step 1, suffixed with my css dir) <Location "/webpath/css"> SetHandler None </Location> # (my chosen alias from step 1, suffixed with django's css dir) <Location "/django_admin/media"> SetHandler None </Location> 4. Tell django the webpath to use when looking for it's admin media (css) files. ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = "/django_admin/media/" There is no need to tell django about my own css files, since I describe them within my html files - <link href="/webpath/css/ myfile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> Good luck to those who follow... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
