22560	Tutorial 1/2/6 - CSS Problem	Briksins@…	nobody	"DJango v1.6.4

Hello
During implementation of tutorials (part 1/2 which are related to admin view) i spot that on the screenshots in the tutorial admin view looks nice and colored, in my case it just raw black and white (see screenshot attached)

I opened Chrome browser console (F12) i spot 2 warning messages:

{{{
Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/plain: ""*localhost blah blah*/static/admin/css/base.css"". localhost/:5
Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/plain: ""*localhost blah blah*/static/admin/css/forms.css"". localhost/:6
}}}

That makes me thing that CSS files were treated as simple plain text instead of CSS files - thats why admin view broken.
I google how to fix it but didint find - however [https://www.google.ie/search?q=Resource+interpreted+as+Stylesheet+but+transferred+with+MIME+type+text%2Fplain&oq=Resource+interpreted+as+Stylesheet+but+transferred+with+MIME+type+text%2Fplain&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.6114j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=0&ie=UTF-8 there are similar problems] but with JavaScript when script treated as plain text and doesnt works 

all those case related to the project specific problem, however in my case im fallowing tutorial and it should work out of the box.

As anotehr way of fixing it, i tried to switch off debug mode, then it tells me that cant find those files:

'''Tracker things it is spam ticket - so, first part of the links are modified to ""localhost blah blah""'''

}}}
 
I did try to create local folders set ""static/admin/css"" and ""static/admin/js"" but it also didnt work out. im new to django, and so far tutorial doesnt explain how to define static resources.
I did find [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/ these instructions] and was playing with it for a long time, but still didnt manage to solve my problem, those files are still missing.
 
so the problem is not solved, and i enable debug mode back and give up fixing this problem.
Would be nice if that would be fixed
or what is better - tutorial will on purpose teach how to attache static files(css/img) to the project

Best Regards
