Many thanks to the replies and everyone's patience. I can't see the 9th response to this thread because Google Groups appears to be off line, but here's what I've done to get amr.css to load:
1) Here is the base template portion that loads the css file: <html> <!-- Test Comment --> <head> <title>{% block title %}Town of Arlington Water Department AMR System{% endblock %} </title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost: 8003/css/amr.css" /> </head> 2) Here is the apache config file. This is choice appears to be in line with the Django documentation, because Django recommends not serving static content from the same document root. Listen 8003 <VirtualHost _default_:8003> DocumentRoot "/var/www/amr/media" <Directory "/var/www/amr/media"> Options +Includes </Directory> Basically media is a symlink media -> /home/amr/django/amr/media I get a 200 from loading the css file body{ background-color: blue;} p { color: blue; } h3{ color: white; } I picked blue just so I'd see a drastic change. It's not my final choice. My question is why don't I see a change? Thanks. cmn On Dec 1, 10:12 am, Tom Evans <tevans...@googlemail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 3:02 PM, Tom Evans <tevans...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > Are you expecting django to serve the file through apache or apache to > > directly serve the file? > > > How have you configured apache? > > > What is output in apache's access log when you try to access the file? > > > You really need to provide more information.
