I hit an issue when trying serve static files. In settings, debug is True, and with the followinig: STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(freelancer_path,"staticfiles") STATIC_URL = '/staticfiles/'
urls.py: (r'^staticfiles/(?P<path>.*)$','django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve', {'document_root' : STATIC_ROOT,'show_indexes' : True}), Problem is, when accessing http://127.0.0.1:8000/staticfiles/, I got this: Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/staticfiles/ Why? I thought I would get folder indexes because I set show_indexes to True. And, later, I find that, if I set the url pattern prefix not same to STATIC_URL, say, maybe : (r'^files/(?P<path>.*)$','django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve', {'document_root' : STATIC_ROOT,'show_indexes' : True}), And, then, http://127.0.0.1:8000/files/ is OK to show folder lists. Could anyone help explain and fix? Thanks. Wesley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
