Django staticfiles app help

Question

I\'ve having a little issue with Django\'s staticfiles app.

I have added

\'django.contrib.staticfiles\',

to my INSTALLED_APPS and

Answer 1

STATIC_ROOT = '/home/ws/be/bla/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/home/ws/be/static/',)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

This works for me. STATIC_ROOT must differ from STATICFILES_DIRS (Django version 1.4 pre-alpha SVN-16436)
