I am trying to debug this bizarre 404 error that surfaced in my Django application.

Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://78.198.124.245/
Directory indexes are not allowed here.
You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

What does “Directory indexes are not allowed here.” mean? What is a directory index?

I Googled around, and the results I found all have to do with serving static files. However, I don’t think I do that. What does this error mean?

    Check your settings.py file for the STATIC_URL value. You want the value to be the subfolder where your static files are stored – generally STATIC_URL = '/static/'.
