According to http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install/, these are the two commands for setting up the development version of django: svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ django_src ln -s `pwd`/django_src/django SITE-PACKAGES-DIR/django In my case, my `pwd` would be /home/john-scott/workspace, so this is where django_src is created and then the subdirectory `pwd`/django_src/ django would be symlinked to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django.

I guess I was confused by the fact that the settings.py file contains these comments: # Absolute path to the directory that holds media. # Example: "/home/media/media.lawrence.com/" ...so I assumed it was 'ok' to store all static media files in a similar directory (i.e. '/home/john-scott/workspace/mysite/media'). At this point I realize I'm not at all clear on how the settings in settings.py (i.e. MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL, ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX) are supposed to interact with the Apache config. back to the docs... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
