suggested modification #58

Closed molsim closed 9 years ago

molsim commented 9 years ago

Some paths in settings.py are machine specific. Can we do this change:

STATIC_URL = '/projects/histonedb/HistoneDB/static/'

STATIC_URL=os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")

STATIC_ROOT = '/web/public/htdocs/projects/histonedb/HistoneDB/static/'

STATIC_ROOT=os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")

Hmm, we need to distinguish between the two paths. ROOT is how to access the files on the filesystem and URL is how to access the files through the web. I can add the URL as a environment variable.

I see. Probably the URL is not important anyway. The problem I ran to with ROOT: with older version of static root - some of the initial manage.py scripts fail on my laptop. They have STATIC_ROOT hardcoded in some HMM scripts or alike. While with the suggested version there is a clash with STATICFILES_DIRS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"), ] and web server complains ImproperlyConfigured: The STATICFILES_DIRS setting should not contain the STATIC_ROOT setting

STATIC_ROOT is not needed becuase we don't need to collect static. We will use STATIC_ROOT_AUX in scripts who need access to the path.
