Hi,
I am new to this group and relatively new to django.
I am having a problem with the admin page of a site, running on
FreeBSD Apache/mod_python. It doesn't seem to find /media/css/
dashboard.css.
With the same site running on the django development server on Mac OS
X, the admin page shows up fine. All the other pages of the site also
show up the way they are supposed to.
When copying the site to a FreeBSD/Apache/mod_python server and having
adjusted the files: settings.py and urls.py, the normal pages of the
site are looking good. However when I go the admin part of the site,
the page shows up but no formatting occurs because it doesn't find /
media/css/dashboard.css.
So I created a logical link from "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/django/contrib/admin/media" to the directory where the django-
project lives. This didn't make a difference. Then I tried creating an
alias in my apache config:
Alias /media/ "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/contrib/
admin/media" and that also didn't make a difference.
Then I suspected the (admin)view code was looking in the wrong place,
so I added some code in the code which displays the index page of the
site to see if I could see something there.
The code look like:
def index(request):
cur_dir = os.getcwd() # which directory are we in?
list_dir = os.listdir(cur_dir) # get the contents of that directory
.
.
.
template = language + '/' + 'index/index.html'
return render_to_response(template, {'dir': cur_dir, 'dircon':
list_dir})
And here I saw a difference between the development server and the
deployment server. The development server (both on Mac OS X and
FreeBSD) shows the directory contents of my django-project directory
(the directory created with django-admin.py startproject projectname)
like this,
Mac OS X:
• __init__.py
• __init__.pyc
• db_meta_data
• manage.py
• settings.py
• settings.pyc
• site_media
• templates
• urls.py
• urls.pyc
• wms
wms is the application directory.
FreeBSD django development server:
• __init__.py
• manage.py
• settings.py
• urls.py
• __init__.pyo
• manage.pyo
• settings.pyo
• urls.pyo
• db_meta_data
• site_media
• templates
• settings.pyc
• __init__.pyc
• wms
• media
• urls.pyc
The FreeBSD/Apache/mod_python server displays the "root" directory of
the FreeBSD server.
FreeBSD apache/mod_python
• dev
• tmp
• usr
• var
• home
• etc
• cdrom
• dist
• bin
• boot
• lib
• libexec
• media
• mnt
• proc
• rescue
• root
• sbin
• sys
• .cshrc
• .profile
• COPYRIGHT
• compat
• entropy
If admin is looking for /media/css/dashboard.css here it won't find
it.
So I think it must have something to do with the apache configuration
files. That looks like:
# wms.conf
Listen 192.168.1.62:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.62:80>
ServerAdmin i...@wm.nl
ServerName www.wm.nl
ServerAlias wm.nl

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your

but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot /home/henri/sites_django/wmssite
#
# This should be set to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/home/henri/sites_django/wmssite">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",

#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please

#
# Option Indexes generates a directory listing if the file index.html

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess

# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:

</Directory>

I know this is perhaps a long question but I have tried t be as
accurate as possible. Does anyone have an idea how to tackle this?
