python - New Django App MEDIA_URL pathing incorrect -

so, i've created new app in django via python manage.py startapp foo

my new app not load files in /site_media/ directory, via {{ media_url }}. attempting path app's directory, not /site_media/ directory.

example: instead of loading http://sitename/site_media/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css

it tries load http://sitename/foo/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css

here snippet settings.py defines media_url

media_url = '/site_media/'

i can forcefulness files load correctly in app replacing {{ media_url }} /site_media/ in base.html , show_foo.html, breaks pathing on rest of site.

i'm not sure else see seek , diagnose issue, i'm stumped!

in case: urls.py in app directory

#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf8 -*- django.conf.urls.defaults import * urlpatterns = patterns('foo_web.foo_track.views', url('^$','view_foo_track',name='foo_home'), url('^newentry/(?p<entry_id>\d+)$','write_form_data',name='foo_track_new'), )

settings.py edit*removed comments readability

thanks help! turns out error made :( interesting consequences though.

i noticed funny in logs a (% csrf_token %) used in template, context did not provide value. uaually caused not using requestcontext.

lo , behold, in views.py line incorrect: return render_to_response('foo_track/foo_track_show.html',{'access':access})

it should have had requestcontext(request) this: return render_to_response('foo_track/foo_track_show.html',{'access':access},requestcontext(request))

and works. sheesh!
