Django: how to serve static favicon.ico?

If you're talking about a WebFaction Django install, you should be able to edit the .conf file in the apache2 directory in your app's directory, and add a Redirect /favicon.ico http://example.com/static/favicon.ico

However, note that you can also specify a favicon in the HTML.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/myicon.ico" />

So you can change both the name and the location. (I took that example from the Wikipedia entry on favicons.)
