i am using django 1.4 when i am trying to use {{STATIC_URL}} in template
like
<img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}images/feature_image_multi-party_video-conferencing.jpg" alt="Hi!" />
but images are not getting load on html page
plz help me out what i am doing wrong

STATIC_URL won't be added to the template context unless you add django.core.context_processors.static to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. So, you can do that, or you can alternatively use the template tag instead (Django 1.4+ only):
{% load static from staticfiles %}
<img src="{% static "images/hi.jpg" %}" alt="Hi!" />

There's a difference between deplouying static files in production or development environments.
As far as I can see you're probably in a development environment, so you should add the static files dirs to the STATICFILES_DIR settings variable.
Or if your static files are located in the root of your django applicaiton add 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader' to the TEMPLATE_LOADERS settings variable.
Please see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/ for more information on this subject.

Django 1.4 in windows 7 "No FlatPage matches the given query"

I already searched for everything I could, but this annoying error is still there. The admin interface (localhost:8000/admin/) works fine, but no one else. Obs.: Im using Apress - Practical Django Projects (2nd edition) to learn Django. I'll post my code here so somebody can tell what I did wrong. Thanks!

admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')),
)
PS: Everything is idented correctly. So if there are some identation mistakes, it's because I did the copy/paste real quick.

You should not include flatpages in your url conf.
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')), # remove this
That's probably why you're getting the error... as flatpages practically match any URL.
Normally flatpages work via the flatpage fallback middleware that will attempt to locate a flatpage IF no other urls match.

Another cause of problem is not putting the correct SITE_ID number in settings.py
You can find the correct site id for 127.0.0.1:8000 (assuming you use the default port) by inspecting the table django_flatpage_sites in your database. The site id will be found in the column site_id.
Updating the SITE_ID to that number in settings.py , solved the issue for me.

Django can't find static file for admin

Hello and thank you in advance.
I have django installed on Bluehost. Everything seems to be working, but the admin module isn't seeing the static files so the admin pages are not formatted.
I am a noob and I am not sure where to start troubleshooting, any help is appreciated. Please let e know what information would be helpful to supply.

Make sure following is included in your settings.py
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/static/admin/'

You'll probably need to set ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to a fully qualified url.
Like
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = 'http://yourdoman.com/static/admin/'
and make sure your server is serving the static files.

For anyone else who runs across this, bluehost does not allow the normal methods that you would use to direct requests for static resources on the admin page via mod_rewrite (detailed here). Specifically, Alias and Options +FollowSymLinks are disallowed.
The way we got this working was creating a static/ dir under public_html. We then copied all of the relevant Django css/img/js folder structures into that static folder, and used a simpler .htaccess file:
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(mysite.fcgi)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mysite.fcgi/$1 [L]

All I had to do was create a directory called static and copy over python/lib/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/* to there. Done.

I moved the site to WebFaction and it works.

Can't apply template in django

You forgot a comma after '/home/mhh91/django_test/polls/admin' and...
You need to add /home/mhh91/django_test/templates', to your template list, and move admin/base_site.html to /home/mhh91/django_test/templates/ as per the documentation:
In order to override one or more of them, first create an admin
directory in your project's templates directory. This can be any of
the directories you specified in TEMPLATE_DIRS.

My guess is that Django is looking for "admin/base_site.html" within the "/home/mhh91/django_test/polls/admin" directory - Therefore looking for "/home/mhh91/django_test/polls/admin/admin/base_site.html". Try removing the word "admin" from the template directory:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
'/home/mhh91/django_test/polls',

whenever i try to access the project it gives me error:
Exception Value: 'django_mongodb_engine' isn't an available database
backend. Try using django.db.backends.XXX, where XXX is one of:
'dummy', 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3' Error was: No module named django_mongodb_engine.base
I dont know what am I doing wrong here in settings file.I am following http://www.chrisumbel.com/article/django_python_mongodb_engine_mongo for help.

The code in that linked article has django_mongodb_engine.mongodb for the ENGINE setting.
You'll also need django-nonrel for this to work.

make sure your depended packages is installed correctly.
you can follow installation to fix your problem.

you can remove the default django installation by
sudo pip uninstall django
and reinstalled from Django fork(https://github.com/django-nonrel/django) with support for NoSQL databases by
sudo pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django
and remove/comment MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES from setting.py
