Ok - this is very useful! It is just great to see a "real" app that
does something similar to what I want. The code looks very nice and
seems simple to understand. I have downloaded it and integrated into
my little play django application, but I have one problem. In the
README it says:
6. Inside your MEDIA_ROOT folder, create a new folder called
'helpdesk' and
copy the contents of helpdesk/htdocs/ into it. Alternatively,
create a
symlink:
ln -s /path/to/helpdesk/htdocs /path/to/media/helpdesk
This application assumes all helpdesk media will be accessible at
http://MEDIA_PATH/helpdesk/
I did the ln, but I don't understand how to make the contantes of
media/helpdes accessible at http://MEDIA_PATH/helpdesk/
What do I do to make them "accessible"?
