Excellent, I have it figured out... or I should say, I have it working. I'm not sure I have it set up correctly, but at least it's working.
At first I couldn't figure out how the view source was going to help me. I mean, I can point the css wherever I want, but trying to access the css files directly gave me a few clues. I'm not sure why, but when I run the development server, I can just give a relative path to the admin css files and it doesn't really matter what I put, it still finds the dashboard.css file under the django insta. But, the mod_python apache one won't. Anyway, long story short, I mapped the same relative path from my admin_media in settings to also have an alias as Graham suggests in my httpd.conf and somehow I got it working. Changing my PythonPath to have \dev instead of \dev\testproj was key. The frustrating part is that I'm used to having everything under my document_root. Moving so many pieces out and having it work in one place and not another, with very little feedback as to why is annoying. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon. Anyway, thanks a ton for your help. -Jim On Jul 26, 11:58 pm, oggie rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My problems are this.
