I'm trying to setup a second development environment for my project. I've copied over the settings from the working setup but on the new one the URLs generated by the Django admin are prefixed with /admin/. This does not happen with the other setup at all.

More details:

  • I'm using django-grappelli for my admin panel.

  • The generated urls on the working setup are of the kind /static/grappelli while on the not-working one they are of the kind /admin/static/grappelli.

  • Disabling grappelli yields no fix either, the urls are then of the kind /admin/static/admin.

  • I'm using Django 1.5, it uses a git repository for the source files and a frozen pip requirements.txt. I can only conclude that version differences are highly unlikely.

  • Other static files work fine, only the admin related ones are hit with this.

My URL settings are the following:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/static/media/'

The *_ROOT ones are not set due to use of development server.

I'm out of ideas as to why this is happening on only one of the servers with the same setup.

edit: Removing the /admin/ prefix allows you to properly access the files. The finder is fine, but the urls generated are just wrong.

The fix is very simple, the STATIC_URL setting should always contain the first /. It seems the Django admin prepends /admin/ if there is none.

I had a faulty settings file overwriting my default STATIC_URL, always check your settings first!
