django static files through apache in windows

[Robin Lery]

I have configured apache to serve my project. But I can't yet configure it to serve static files. Till now in my httpd.conf I have appended the code that django documentation provides and its like this:

    WSGIScriptAlias / C:/Users/robin/web/facebook/facebook/wsgi.py

    WSGIPythonPath C:/Users/robin/web/facebook/

    <Directory C:/Users/robin/web/facebook/facebook>

    <Files wsgi.py>

    Order deny,allow

    Allow from all

    </Files>

    </Directory>

Now, what next do I do to serve static files through apache server. I know its best to serve static files through nginx or other server, but it was to hard to find tutorial for windows. So I would highly appreciate if someone would guide me to serve static files throught apache as I am half way down there, in windows. Or if some tutorials for other server for windows will also be appreciated. Thank you!

This is documented in django's documentation:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#serving-files

Create a directory somewhere on disk, and add it as a location alias
to your apache config, like so

Alias /static/ C:/path/to/dir/you/made/
<Directory C:/path/to/dir/you/made>

Order deny,allow
Allow from all

</Directory>

Set the following settings:

STATIC_ROOT = "C:/path/to/dir/you/made"
STATIC_URL = "/static/"

Run "python manage.py collectstatic".

Cheers

my

STATIC_ROOT = 'C:/Users/robin/web/static_files_for_facebook/'

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

In httpd.conf I have added:

#Serve static files

AliasMatch /static/ C:/Users/robin/web/static_files_for_facebook/

<Directory C:/Users/robin/web/static_files_for_facebook>

   Order deny,allow

   Allow from all

</Directory>

After collectstatic command it has collected the static files, but its still now showing up.

STATICFILES_DIRS = (

    ('assets','C:/Users/robin/web/facebook/static'),

)

In my html file I have link the css with 'assets', `href="{% static "assets/css/face.css" %}">`. But there are two folders `assets` and `admin`, after I made the command collectstatic. Is it the problem? Should I direct css to `admin`?
