Hi, >Have you ran >$ manage.py collectstatic
Can you explain why I need to do this on my dev machine when I am not deploying it to production ? If I look at the docs at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#deployment , it mentions that I need to run this to deploy it. However, the problem I was getting was on my local system.
