Asked by mji
I am interested in learning django … . I installed the droplet in both Ubuntu and Debian and was not able to reproduce the Admin site as shown here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial02/ … The Admin site presents as a malformed HTML page …
Anyone know what the site is missing ?

Hey! Any further information that you could provide would help us figure out your issue. How did you install Django? Are you using the one-click app? Are you seeing any errors in your log files?
It sounds like the static files are not being loaded properly. If you are using Django Admin installed in a virtualenv, remember to run
./mange.py collectstaticIf you are using the system-wide package and using something like Nginx as a reverse proxy, you might need to adjust you proxy configuration. For instance, on the one-click app you might want to add the following to/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/djangoFor more info about the one-click app, checkout this tutorial:
