non-intuitive tutorial failure - static files

[will@…]

I just ran through your tutorial. It's great. Thanks for making it. I only hit one snag that you might want to point out in the tutorial:

In a previous section of the tutorial, I had changed debug to false (to view my custom 404 page). When it's false, the static process fails. It took me a bit to realize that I had to set debug to true.

Cheers,

That's a good point, the tutorial should tell to switch DEBUG back to True after testing the custom 404 page.

Actually we removed the custom 404 section of the tutorial in #20667 -- however, I noticed that change didn't get committed to master so I've fixed that now. Thanks for the ticket.
