Django template can't see CSS files

Question

I\'m building a django app and I can\'t get the templates to see the CSS files... My settings.py file looks like:

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.p         


        

Answer 1

On the dev server, I like to cheat and put the following in my urls.py

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        (r'^includes/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '/path/to/static/files'}),
    )

That way anything in the project under the "/includes" folder is server by the dev server. You could just change that to "/media".
