Adam,
Just a heads-up on a problem and some 4.4.1 documentation changes needed
with regard to setting up Apache to access the arches static files.
- It turns out that clean installs of arches need to run collectstatic,
too, even if neither of the two conditions noted pertain. The static files
are not available to Apache.
- The procedure recommends creating a static folder under my project, so
I did, though I noted that settings.py already had a setting STATIC_ROOT
= /var/www/media, which does not exist.
- One of the lines I was directed to copy into settings.py is STATIC_ROOT
= os.path.join(PACKAGE_ROOT, 'static'); PACKAGE_ROOT is undefined, so I
imagine it should be APP_ROOT.
- I ran python manage.py collectstatic, which promptly failed, because
it attempted to create the directory /var/www/media and the user I was
logged in as doesn't have sufficient permission. Looks like I should keep
the original setting for STATIC_ROOT, but I don't know which files I
need to get there.
- By default, /var permissions (at least on my 18.04 server) restrict
the root group to read and execute only, so even my root group member user
couldn't run the program.
Is there any way around having to change folder permissions at the root
level? Is there a way to overwrite the default file destination at run
time, for example?
Thanks,
Martha
