    text
    copied!<p>I am using django 1.5</p> <p>I am able to serve the files in production because it is being handled at the apache level. Here is my httpd.conf file: </p> <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; WSGIScriptAlias / /home/membership/membership/wsgi.py Alias /static/ "/home/membership/static/" &lt;Directory /home/membership/static&gt; Order deny,allow Allow from all &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;Directory "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin"&gt; Order deny,allow Allow from all &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;Directory /home/membership/membership&gt; &lt;Files wsgi.py&gt; Order deny,allow Satisfy Any Allow from all &lt;/Files&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; </code></pre> <p>This works fine in production because of the <code>Alias /static/ "/home/membership/static/"</code></p> <p>When I try and run the app in my local development environment I can't get it to serve static files I just get a page not found 404 error. I am guess that this is because when I develop locally the requests are going straight to the development server since apache is not being used.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/wtPCe.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I do have a file at /static/me.png . </p> <p>Is there somewhere that I am supposed to specify to serve static files in development? </p> <p>When running <code>python manage.py collectstatic</code> it seems to collect only the static files for the admin app. I have a file directly in the /app/static directory that I am trying to serve. </p>
