Admin section is unstyled #15

Open waldoj opened 9 years ago

waldoj commented 9 years ago

The entire /admin/ section tries to call CSS from /static/admin/, but there is no such directory. As a result, the whole section is unstyled. Figure out why this is broken and fix it.

Ah right, forgot that off the command list.

You need to run python manage.py collectstatic to gather all of the static files from the various different django modules and stick them into the static dir apache's serving out of.

@knowtheory, do you have any idea of why this error is produced when I run python manage.py collectstatic?

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path.

There's no STATIC_ROOT option anywhere in settings.py, but there is a STATICFILES_DIRS option. Is this a case of an incorrect variable name?
