a look on `cloudcms/synnefo_settings.py`_ file which includes `snf-webproject`

Static files

************

snf-cloudcms requires the following static files to be served by your django

project:

    * feincms static files for the admin interface

    * django.contrib.admin static files

    * snf-cloudcms static files

If you are using `snf-webproject`_ to deploy your cms all static file handlers

should be taken care for you and no additional steps required in the deployment

process. This automatic behaviour can be enabled/disabled from the 

``WEBPROJECT_SERVE_STATIC`` setting.

If you want to disable serving static files from your django project, set

``WEBPROJECT_SERVE_STATIC`` to False in your settings and configure your 

web server to serve static files of the following locations to the specific 

urls which can be altered in your settings files:

* <feincms install dir>/feincms/static/ -> FEINCMS_ADMIN_MEDIA (default:/static/feincms/)

* <django install dir>/django/contrib/admin/media/ -> ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX (default:/static/djangoadminmedia/)

* <cloudcms install dir>/cloudcms/static/ -> MEDIA_URL (default:/static/)

CMS uploads

***********

snf-cloudcms uses feincms medialibrary application to store and display

files in cms pages. The location of those files is based on MEDIA_ROOT setting

and is calculated using the following expression::

    MEDIA_ROOT + '/medialibrary/'

if you deploy using `snf-webproject`_ this defaults to 

``/usr/share/synnefo/static/medialibrary`` which you should create and grant

appropriate permissions for web app to be able to access it. e.g. if you deploy

using nginx/gunicorn and your gunicorn workers run with www-data user 

permissions::

    mkdir /usr/share/synnefo/static/medialibrary

    chown www-data:www-data /usr/share/synnefo/static/medialibrary

    chmod o+rw /usr/share/synnefo/sattic/medialibrary
