#29909: Django tutorial instructs the reader to create a 'static' directory and reload the webpage without restarting the server ------------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: CoenTempelaars | Owner: nobody Type: Bug | Status: new Component: Documentation | Version: 2.1 Severity: Normal | Keywords: Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 0 UI/UX: 0 | ------------------------------------------+------------------------ At the end of the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/intro/tutorial06 /#customize-your-app-s-look-and-feel Customize your app's look and feel section of Django tutorial 06] the reader is instructed to create a static directory in the polls app and populate it with a stylesheet: polls/static/polls/style.css
The tutorial then instructs the reader to reload https://localhost:8000/polls/ to see the change in effect. Since my server was still running at the time, I observed a 404 error: [31/Oct/2018 21:00:38] "GET /static/polls/style.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1669 The tutorial could be improved if it would hint the reader to restart the server if it is still running. After restarting the server, I observed: [31/Oct/2018 21:00:46] "GET /static/polls/style.css HTTP/1.1" 200 99 -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29909> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
