In my development environment I'm getting intermittent failures for serving static files (js scripts and css). In the error console in Chrome I get 404s. But if I refresh on those items, or visit the URLs directly, they're served up fine.
This is annoying.
Example:
GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/js/editor/xyz.js?v=1 404 (NOT FOUND)
but if I visit that URL directly fine. And if I refresh the page a few times, it will work again.
Any ideas?

In Django, we refer to these files as “static files”. Django provides django.contrib.staticfiles to help you manage them. This page describes how you can serve these static files.
I am using django 1.5 I am able to serve the files in production because it is being handled at the apache level. Here is my httpd.conf file:
Yesterday, I learned during deployment that your Django app when used in combination with gunicorn will refuse to serve static files, do whatever you may. I looked up almost every Stack Overflow answer post on this topic including this, this and this.
If you're Serving static files during development On your settings.pyfile: # Add it on your settings.py file STATICFILES_DIRS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"), # your static/ files folder ] Example: On your root urls.pyfile:
The dev server is single-threaded so if something keeps waiting, it blocks every request.
I usualy work with the django concurent dev server which is multi-threaded and works much better. Also it is very fast and easy to setup ;)
