thanks Jeff yes, i had found this method of having django serve static content, too, and know it is not ideal.
what i want is different: use apache for serving the static content at the root of the site (defind in settings.py and urls.py) and have a couple of django apps which are accessible just with simple paths. the urls are what disturbs me, because i cannot get anything from just http://mysite.org/, but instead need to access http://mysite.org/myproject. again, the non-functional code (raises "TemplateDoesNotExist at /static/index.html" in views): urls.py urlpatterns = patterns('myproject.views', (r'^$', 'home') views.py def home(request): return render_to_response('static/index.html') maybe use something like return HttpResponse('/static/index.html') but how?
