The fact that the pages are getting delivered without template not found exceptions means there is not a problem with templates (and you should un-do copying the admin templates into your own tree as that is likely just to cause confusion down the road.) You need to set up your Apache server to serve the admin media files (which will have urls starting with ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX). These are static files and so not served by Django, except when you are running the development server there is an admin media server that automagically serves them out of the Django source tree. The files are located under django/contrib/admin/media. The doc for setting up static file serving with mod_wsgi is here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modwsgi/#serving-media-files Karen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
