Hey, I just started working with Django, and don't want to deal with setting up Apache or anything else on my development box for static content. I found the following page for setting up Django to serve static content during development:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/static_files/ I'm using the 0.96 docs instead of current because I'm using 0.96 (latest Ubuntu package). As far as I can tell, this page isn't different between 0.96 and the latest version. As it suggested, I put (r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '/path/to/media/'}) in my URLconf. I'll deal with the debug-mode-only stuff later, and I did change /path/to/media to the appropriate location. In a template, I reference a CSS file as "site_media/style.css" with interesting results. If I hit the URL for the file directly, http://localhost:8000/site_media/style.css, it works (using manage.py runserver for the server). If I load a page based on the template which refers to the CSS file, it fails to find the CSS file. Watching the output from the server in the terminal, I see: Validating models... 0 errors found. Django version 0.96, using settings 'papers.settings' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C. [25/Feb/2008 00:35:58] "GET /site_media/syle.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0 [25/Feb/2008 00:36:03] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1174 [25/Feb/2008 00:36:03] "GET /site_media/style.css HTTP/1.1" 404 131 The first style.css hit is a direct hit, the second is from hitting the view whose template refers to style.css. The direct hit serves up the file correctly (304 is an unusual response, but doesn't seem to be an error when I looked it up). When I hit the template, it's making the same HTTP request, but I'm getting different results. Any ideas? Thanks. -Colin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
