Hi Erik,
Ok this did something now. Instead of a 404 page not found on server
message I am getting a "403 Forbidden" "You don't have permission to
access /media/test.js" on this server. I have checked my file and
directory permissions which all seem fine all the way thorugh /var/www/
django_projects/proj_name/media. Any suggestions? If not, many thanks
for all your help anyway.
