Continuing on in the tutorial, I got to the part where it explains how to
use the admin site. It seems that after enabling the admin, it cannot find
the css files it uses, so the web page looks very strange.
When making a request for an admin page I get the following output from the
runserver:
[04/Apr/2012 14:36:12] "GET /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 200 3740
[04/Apr/2012 14:36:13] "GET /admin/admin/css/base.css HTTP/1.1" 404 3861
[04/Apr/2012 14:36:13] "GET /admin/admin/css/dashboard.css HTTP/1.1" 404
3876
Which seems to indicate that it can't find base.css and dashboard.css.
I tried following the steps in the Customizing Admin Look and feel to get
custom templates working to change the urls, but with no luck.
How do I get the default admin to find its css files?
