Re: Static Files on IIS install

You need to make IIS serve the static files from a given location.

1. Run collectstatic and note where it puts the files (STATIC_ROOT).

2. Tweak IIS so it connects STATIC_URL to STATIC_ROOT.

I can't help there because I have never used it. I could help if it was Apache.

Good luck

As for the particulars:

Errors: 

"NetworkError: 404 NOT FOUND - http://localhost:8001/static/admin/css/base.css"

"NetworkError: 404 NOT FOUND - http://localhost:8001/static/admin/css/dashboard.css"

OS: Windows 7

Web server: IIS 7 with FastCGI

Python: 2.7.4

Should I post my settings.py file as well?

This assumes you are using Django 1.4

 as well as specifically how to make my Django app pull the

appropriate static files from the core django package?

What information

do you need from me to be able to answer this question?

Specific error messages if something fails. Django version. Python version.

If it isn't finding static files there won't necessarily be error messages - you will probably just see raw html. View page source to discover where it is looking for static files and compare what you see with STATIC_URL. IIS has to look in STATIC_ROOT for those.

Thanks in advance.
