I just installed my django 1.5 app on ec2 and right now the /admin portion of the site doesn't have css. Is there a way that I can configure this?
Just to add to this the css files are located in the following folder:
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/css$
How did you configure it? For admin app to load static files, you need to create a symbolic link inside your app's static
directory. Have you done this?
ls -l
should give something like:
admin -> /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/media
I had exactly the same problem and I think I figured it out how to solve it. Actually it's not that hard. All you need to modify is your settings.py(STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL) and server config file (url alias). I wrote a short blog post with 3 steps. http://www.ycshao.com/?p=898.
dragon and ycshao have great answers. Just want to add that if you are running Apache server 2.4+. Instead of
Allow from all
You should use
Require all granted
It solved my static file hosting issue.
