I'm brand new to Django. And, I was having a problem getting my CSS
working. I searched the archives here and I saw lots of references
from people having the same problems with CSS and some debates on how
to go about making it work. But, I never saw anyone spell out exactly
how they got it working. So, here's my verbose run down of what I did
to get my css rendered. If any of it is incorrect, I trust that
someone will correct me.
This is based upon the fact that I have Django installed at:
/usr/local/src/ and that I've already made it past the part of the
installation documentation that instructs you to symlink it to the
site-packages directory
There are 3 directories (css, js and img) that you want to Apache to
serve as static pages (without going through mod_python). All 3
directories are in the following path:
/usr/local/src/django_src/django/contrib/admin/media/
Step 1.
I navigated to my DocumentRoot directory and ran:
ln -s /usr/local/src/django_src/django/contrib/admin/media/ media
Alternative to step 1, I saw someone in the archives suggested putting
the following in your <VirtualHost> stanza:
alias /media /usr/local/src/django_src/django/contrib/admin/media/
Step 2.
chown -R myApacheUser:myApacheUser /usr/local/src/django_src/django/
contrib/admin/media/
note: I never saw someone say it was OK to do this, but I had to to
make mine work.
Step 3.
add this to my <VirtualHost> for this site:
<Location "/media">
SetHandler None
<Location>
Step 4.
retstart Apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
