Why does DEBUG=False setting make my django Static Files Access fail?

Question

Am building an app using Django as my workhorse. All has been well so far - specified db settings, configured static directories, urls, views etc. But trouble started sneaki

Answer 1

With debug turned off Django won't handle static files for you any more - your production web server (Apache or something) should take care of that.

Answer 2

I did the following changes to my project/urls.py and it worked for me

Add this line : from django.conf.urls import url

and add : url(r'^media/(?P.*)$', serve, {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, }), in urlpatterns.
