Hey guys – I am having trouble setting up my Django urls file correctly for the following thing!
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript/HashMap.js"></script>
What happens is the file is attempted to get found : http://localhost/javascript/HashMap.js but this URL does not match any within the URL Config and therefore the GET request fails.
Can anyone lend a hand to help me find the correct line to add to allow this kind of thing to work!
Cheers
Andy
You need to serve your JavaScript as a static file.
How you do this in production depends on what Web server you’re running with. Django doesn’t normally serve up static files.
For example, for Apache, you’d put this in your Apache config:
Then you can put your .js files in the directory referenced.
The Django docs have a entire page on just this topic (serving static files): http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/
