Question

I don’t know why I’m being so brain-dead about this, but I can’t figure it out.

I have these settings, per the instructions from the website:

LOGDB_MEDIA_ROOT = '/admin/djangologdb/media/'
LOGDB_MEDIA_URL = '/media/djanglogdb/'

and I have this in my apache httpd.conf:

Alias /media/djangologdb/ "C:/python26/lib/site-packages/django_logdb-1.0-py2.6.egg/djangologdb/media/"

but I’m getting 404s when my browser tries to get http://www.example.com/media/djanglogdb/js/jquery.flot-0.6.min.js

Clues for the clueless, anyone?

Answer 1

The problem was in something that I was not showing.

Following this line:

Alias /media/djangologdb/ "C:/python26/lib/site-packages/django_logdb-1.0-py2.6.egg/djangologdb/media/"

I had

<Location /media/djangologdb >
  SetHandler None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Location>

And that “Location” directory was wrong. It should have been a “Directory” directive (because I am serving something off the file system), and the directory has to specify the full directory path. Like this:

<Directory "C:/python26/lib/site-packages/django_logdb-1.0-py2.6.egg/djangologdb/media/" >
  SetHandler None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>
