No Style/css On Django Admin

I'm a complete newbie to apache, so the the whole deployment process has been a pain in the backside, so bear with me.

I'm having the problem of my admin site using the css formatting, it's just coming up as plain html.

I know there are other questions that answer this issue here and elsewhere, but for the life of me I can't figure out to get it working. So if anyone can spot what I'm messing up I'd be eternally grateful.

The relevant lines in settings.py are:

STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/logparseradmin/logparser/static'

STATIC_URL = 'http://theyard/logparseradmin/static/'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/var/www/Django-1.3.1/django/contrib/admin/media/'

and I have:

Alias /static/ /var/www/Django-1.3.1/django/contrib/admin/media/

in my httpd.conf.

I've tried a whole bunch of variations on this, as the various answers on the Internet have suggested, but no luck.

Thanks very much.

There's at least three things wrong here.

Firstly, your STATIC_URL is not probably a valid URL - http://theyard/ is not a real domain name, and won't work unless you've got local DNS resolution (which, given your self-described newbie status, seems unlikely.)

Secondly, the path value of STATIC_URL doesn't match the Alias you've put in httpd.conf - STATIC_URL has /logparseradmin/static/, whereas Alias just has /static/

Thirdly, ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX should be a URL path, not a file path.

And without seeing the rest of your http.conf it's impossible to be sure, but there may be fourth issue with mod_wsgi matching the URL before your Alias is processed.
