No Django Admin media in Trunk

Hello,

I have trunk version of django installed for my app 1.4.x in which the default media locations have changed. Currently I have the STATIC_ROOT set as

STATIC_ROOT = '/home/<username>/webapps/django/lib/python2.7/django/contrib/admin/static/admin'

Anyone know how to configure the admin media under django 1.4 on web faction?

media django_admin django

I have the same problem: I created a Django trunk app (Python2.7, WSGI3.3). Looks like there are no settings required for STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT, at least I didn't see these in settings.py.

Starting apache2 runs into the MaxClients issue, and going to the top of the site says 'requested URL /' not found and gives a 404.

I also tried adding the STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL values (copied from a working app based on Django-1.3.1 earlier this week), but this did not help.

Since its trunk it can be a lot of things, as they change daily. If you submit a support ticket we would be happy to look directly.

The current Django dev (trunk) documentation and the Django 1.3 documentation for static media (and STATIC_ROOT) appear mostly identical as of this writing. That means you should be able to use the standard procedure described in the WebFaction Django documentation.

Note in this documentation, the STATIC_ROOT is set to /home/username/webapps/static_media_app/ rather than pointing to the admin files directly in the django python library. the manage.py collectstatic command will copy the necessary files into the STATIC_ROOT for you when it is run as part of the installation procedure.
