Django — Can't get static CSS files to load

Question

I\'m running Django\'s development server (runserver) on my local machine (Mac OS X) and cannot get the CSS files to load.

Here are the relevant entries

Answer 1

Are these missing from your settings.py? I am pasting one of my project's settings:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.media",
"django.core.context_processors.static",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages")

Also, this is what I have in my urls.py:

urlpatterns += patterns('', (
        r'^static/(?P.*)$',
        'django.views.static.serve',
        {'document_root': 'static'}
))
