Re: tutorial p.6 problem: style.css isn't loaded

templates/admin isn't necessary. Instead you should extend both TEMPLATE_DIRS and STATICFILES_DIRS to include the templates and static files for the admin package:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),
    '/opt/python-venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/',
)
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    '/opt/python-venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/',
)

Hello,

i'm following Django's tutorial (very nice, btw) and static files don't work for me.  I have a test project created along the previous parts of the tutorial, and now i'm here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial06/#customize-your-app-s-look-and-feel

According to instructions, I've added a style.css file to BASE_DIR/polls/static/polls/ subdir and inserted

{% load staticfiles %}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'polls/style.css' %}" />

into my polls/templates/polls/index.html - however, it doesn't have any effect (i.e. the links in the poll list aren't green), and when i look into the shell where Django development server is running, i see

"GET /static/polls/style.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1649

so, it seems that the file cannot be accessed at all.  But i'm at a loss of why it doesn't work :(

Any ideas?

If anyone wants to look at my code, it's here:

best,

Janek
