So using things like http://localhost:8000/static/myfolder/ just work. However when I enable staticfiles things like http://localhost:8000/static/myfolder/ yield a 404 saying ""'myfolder\' could not be found"". Maybe i'm using staticfiles wrong (i have no idea where site-specific stuff (e.g. favicon, robots, site-global css, etc. should go) but shouldn't the contents in STATIC_ROOT just get served? settings.py: {{{ STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../static/').replace('\\', '/') STATIC_URL = '/static/' ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/static/admin/' }}} urls.py: {{{ urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT, show_indexes=True) }}}" Bug closed contrib.staticfiles 1.3 Normal fixed Accepted 0 0 0 0 0 0
