I have managed to get a Django app installed on IIS7. It is not finding the static files for the admin section. Can someone give me some pointers on the steps I need to take to get static files to work in general, 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?
Thanks in advance.

This assumes you are using Django 1.4

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.

This assumes you are using Django 1.4https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/howto/static-files/#deploying-static-files-in-a-nutshell
as well as specifically how to make my Django app pull the

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

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
Mike
