Question

I would like to serve static plist files using mod_wsgi. In have configured apache as follows

Alias /site_media/ "/var/www/mysite/media/"
<Directory "/var/www/mysite/media">
Order allow,deny
Options Indexes
Allow from all
IndexOptions FancyIndexing
</Directory>

When I go to http://localhost/mysite/site_media/mac_config.plist I get the error

Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://localhost/mysite/site_media/mac_config.plist
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^config/
^admin/doc/
^admin/
The current URL, site_media/mac_config.plist, didn't match any of these.

This error is telling me that Django is intercepting the request. How is it possible to serve this static file without having to use python to read the file from disk and respond with an http request?

Just as @sdolan suggested, doing localhost/site_media/mac_config.plist corrected the problem.
