Re: Unable to display static content.

use {{STATIC_URL}} in place of {{MEDIA_URL}} and keep STATIC_ROOT =' ' in settings page.

Hi All,

I am just learning Python and Django. I am able to see the webpage but
css and images are not picked up.

Configuration as below:

Linux Ubuntu 11.04
Python 2.7.2
Django 1.3.1

I have setup Django using VirtualEnv. I am using PyCharm and my Django
project is pointing to the VirtualEnv Django installation.

In firebug, I am getting 404 for css and images.

Project Structure.

ProjectRoot
-media
  -images
  -stylesheets
-templates
-webapp

urls.py
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
import settings
from talenthunt.web import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',
   url(r'^search-form/$', views.search_form),
   url(r'^search/$', views.search),
)

if settings.DEBUG:
   urlpatterns += patterns('',
       (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
           'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}))


settings.py
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def rel(*x):
   return os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)),
*x )

MEDIA_ROOT = rel('media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

STATIC_ROOT = rel('static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'

Only pasting relevant code from settings.py

Base.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
   <title>Organic Web Design</title>
   <link href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}stylesheets/common.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Chirdeep
