Re: Best Practices URL Patterns

I ended up fixed it. Turned out one of the dirs in the path was not readable. That is, the django app was in /foo/bar/baz and although /foo and /foo/bar/baz were readable, /foo/bar was not. Once I chmod-ed that all was well. On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 7:13 PM, Josh Crompton wrote: > Rather than makin
