Im probably just tired and dont notice something obvious here but after upgrade to Django 1.5 the path to my static files is broken.
settings.py
from os.path import abspath, basename, dirname, join, normpath
SITE_ROOT = dirname(dirname(abspath(__file__)))
SITE_NAME = basename(SITE_ROOT)
PROJECT_ROOT = dirname(SITE_ROOT)
STATIC_ROOT = normpath(join(SITE_ROOT, 'static', 'site_media'))
STATIC_URL = "/site_media/static/"
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
"staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder",
"staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder",
"staticfiles.finders.LegacyAppDirectoriesFinder",
"compressor.finders.CompressorFinder",
)
index.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}css/site_base.css" />
