Never hardcode absolute paths
| by jpic | python django best-practiceThis is nonono:
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/coat/www/site/app/static/'Never hardcode absolute paths, you’re just making your settings file less portable and probably killing kittens. Adapt this to your needs:
import os.path
import posixpath
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..')
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static')
# fix STATICFILES_DIRS too
# and TEMPLATE_DIRS
