I was working on creating a Django project, and was having a problem with the media for the admin site not being displayed properly. (When I went to the admin page, it worked fine but the page was plain, missing all the css and js.) It was driving me crazy and I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I just deleted the whole project and started again, following the Django tutorial webcast step-by-step. And I'm still having the same problem! I can't figure it out... Here's the media settings from settings.py: MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/username/webapps/static_media' MEDIA_URL = 'http://mysite.com/media/' ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = 'http://mysite.com/media/admin/' Any ideas? ~Karen asked 08 Jan '11, 20:39 Karen McNeil |

Hi Karen, Try changing your ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX from to and make sure that in the control panel you have the admin symbolic link application mounted at /media/admin. Regards, Klynton J.

(I double checked and the symbolic link app is mounted at Any other suggestions?

By the way, I was reading your response to a related question, and tried the things you suggested there. When I check Thanks, Karen

Hi Karen, In that case you should remove that symlink application and create a new one with the full path to the admin media again so it isn't blinking red and it should work for you.

I did that, and the app was still blinking red. So I tried different permutations of the origin path for the symlink, and the one that finally worked was: /home/username/webapps/django_app/lib/python2.6/django/contrib/admin/media The '/' at the beginning is what changed. The tutorial doesn't have that slash, and my projects use to work without it. Did something change?

Our documentation is definitely wrong there. I'll make a note to have it updated ASAP. That slash is always required, otherwise it's treated as a relative symlink, which would result in

Just FYI, the documentation has now been corrected :) Sorry about that!

Or add these two lines to your httpd.conf You might need to check that your copy of django is in lib "python2.6", not "python2.5". answered 20 Jan '11, 16:53 johnm |
