Hi List,

I am new to django.

I read this:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/

I did this:

cd ~
django-admin startproject mysite

I see this in
~/mysite/mysite/settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

So, I see staticfiles in there.

cd mysite
python manage.py startapp my_app
mkdir -p my_app/static/my_app
echo hello > my_app/static/my_app/hello.html
python manage.py runserver

Other terminal:

curl 127.0.0.1:8000/my_app/static/my_app/hello.html

gives:

Page not found (404)

So, I'm curious.

How to serve a static file with django?

I sense that
This URL is leaving out a step or maybe I read it wrong:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/
??

I am running this django:

>>> import django
>>> print(django.get_version())
1.9
>>>
