copied!<p>I'm having trouble getting the static content to load from a django django app I've packaged. I packaged my Django app according to the documentation here: <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/reusable-apps/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/reusable-apps/</a></p> <p>I created a distribution </p> <pre><code>python ./setup.py sdist </code></pre> <p>I copied the distribution tarball to a remote server, extracted, and installed it</p> <pre><code>python ./setup.py install </code></pre> <p>I started the development server from the command line:</p> <pre><code>python ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 </code></pre> <p>The templates are all loading properly, and they contain the correct data, but all the .css and .js files are failing to load with 404 errors. When I look inside the .egg file created by sdist, the static contents are there.</p> <p>Here is my settings.py:</p> <pre><code># Django settings for django_grm project.
