Staticfiles Doesn't Work

[epicserve]

I had to make the following changes in order to get mingus setup and running the first time. These changes should be documented in the install doc and also a change needs to be made to the settings.py file.

I hand to change the following changes to the the settings file.

diff --git a/mingus/settings.py b/mingus/settings.py
index e00e0d7..1d52eab 100644

+STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static')
 STATICFILES_DIRS = (
     os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'media', 'mingus'),

Then I had to make the directory static.

mkdir static

Then I had to run...

$ ./manage.py collectstatic

Forgot to test the admin site, the admin media didn't work so I had to change the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX setting. So these are the changes needed to the settings.py file.

Thanks. I plan on upgrading mingus to support 1.3 now that it's released.
