openstack-dashboard breaks with option DEBUG =False in config file

[koolhead17]

I have a running setup of horizon working. I have also installed memcached and python-memcache
ii openstack-dashbo 2012.1-0ubuntu2 django web interface to Openstack

When i do DEBUG = False
in my /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py css breaks. Image and scripts does not load.

i also have
CACHE_BACKEND = 'memcached://127.0.0.1:11211/'
in my /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py file.

The only solution for this to work smoothly is to keep
DEBUG = True

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

According to the Django documentation [1] is it the easiest way to define an Alias for "/static/" pointing to "/usr/share/openstack_dashboard/openstack_dashboard/static/".

So i added the following line to /etc/apache2/conf.d/openstack-dashboard.conf and the static files are served with "Debug =False".

Alias /static /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/static

Best wishes,
Matthias

This is a valid bug, but it's solely in the upstream package's apache configuration. Setting DEBUG=False turns off the development server's static media serving (as it should). That means any installation/deployment not for development needs a properly-configured webserver to serve the site and its static media.
