Configuring static-only application

I'm setting up a Django site and have used the suggested approach of hosting static and media files in a separate "static only" application. While configuring this I enabled the expires max setting, which I no longer think is correct. Is there a way to toggle this setting without having to delete and add the static only application?

Unfortunately no. You have to delete that app and recreate it.

Thanks for your reply. Just to confirm: deleting it will actually delete it from the filesystem, correct? I ask because one app contains user-uploaded content (e.g., photos). I'd need to temporarily move them out of that directory before making the change? Thanks!

Yes, this is correct. Any time you delete an application, the corresponding item under ~/webapps is deleted.
