i've now temporarily fixed my admin page problem by just copying all files to the apache document root, but later i will need to learn what a "symbolic link" is as it sounds like a nicer solution the online documentation is excellent by the way! this is the first time ive tried web development, first time ive used HTML, python, django, any web server, etc and ive managed to get a basic site up and running largely thanks to the documentation much appreciated alex On Jan 7, 12:52 am, Malcolm Tredinnick <malc...@pointy-stick.com> wrote: > On Tue, 2009-01-06 at 15:33 -0800, rabbi wrote: > > thanks a lot malcom, that's great advice. > > for the record, initially i had "DATABASE_NAME = 'vocab'" > > > i have another question; after changing from runserver to apache the > > django admin page now looks very ugly... it's lost all formatting etc > > The development server helps you out (and gives false expectations in > the process if you're not paying attention) by automatically serving up > the CSS and Javascript files.
