Django Admin Page missing CSS
- by super9
I saw this question and recommendation from Django Projects here but still can't get this to work. My Django Admin pages are not displaying the CSS at all.
This is my current configuration.
settings.py
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'
httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/django/sgel
ServerName ec2-***-**-***-***.ap-**********-1.compute.amazonaws.com
ErrorLog /home/django/sgel/logs/apache_error.log
CustomLog /home/django/sgel/logs/apache_access.log combined
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/django/sgel/apache/django.wsgi
<Directory /home/django/sgel/media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /home/django/sgel/apache>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
LogLevel warn
Alias /media/ /home/django/sgel/media/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sgel.com
Redirect permanent / http://www.sgel.com/
</VirtualHost>
In addition, I also ran the following to create (I think) the symbolic link
ln -s /home/djangotest/sgel/media/admin/ /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/
UPDATE
In my httpd.conf file,
User django
Group django
When I run ls -l in my /media directory
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 4 11:03 admin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9 Apr 8 09:02 test.txt
Should that root user be django instead?
UPDATE 2
When I enter ls -la in my /media/admin folder
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 03:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 8 09:02 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 Apr 13 03:33 media -> /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/
The thing is, when I navigate to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/, the folder was empty. So I copied the CSS, IMG and JS folders from my Django installation into /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/ and it still didn't work
