Answer 1

That's because you haven't setup your STATIC files...

Add to settings:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/static/'

Then run "python manage.py collectstatic"

That will put all the files under STATIC_ROOT which STATIC_URL will serve... You shouldn't point Apache at your Python lib files!!

If you want your own app-specific static files as well, setup "STATICFILES_DIRS".
