Rackspace Cloudfiles and Django Cumulus -

from past 2 days have literally lost patience trying make cloudfiles work project(using cumulus). here of issues:

1.) when upload photo using admin(creating model , registering admin)... photo looks uploaded when try either access using view function photo.objects.all() or going cloudfiles control panel...the image doesnt open up. resource not found. check , double check if region(chicago default me) settings screwing me....but don't think so.

2.) have used collectstatic method collect static files in container , able serve them. infact when click link(say example) - http://ed770b871265201bf471-14f03984d90730040890dd30a2d85248.r68.cf2.rackcdn.com/admin/css/base.css

i able see results , sure u can see too.

but when trying use them static_url in templates - admin pages don't have css working login/home pages being rendered styles.

here settings file/my view functions , important -

static_root = '' static_url = 'http://ed770b871265201bf471-14f03984d90730040890dd30a2d85248.r68.cf2.rackcdn.com/' staticfiles_dirs = (     os.path.join(project_dir,'static'), )  cumulus = {     'username': '***',     'api_key': '****',     'container': 'photos',     'static_container':'static',     'servicenet': false, # whether use rackspace's internal private network     'filter_list': [],     'timeout' : 60 } default_file_storage = 'cumulus.storage.cloudfilesstorage' staticfiles_storage = 'cumulus.storage.cloudfilesstaticstorage' 

the model file part

class photo(models.model):     username = models.foreignkey(user)     image = models.imagefield(upload_to='photos')     alt_text = models.charfield(max_length=255)  admin.site.register(photo) 

this view function requested kyle.

def profile_detail(request):         if request.user.is_authenticated():             username = request.user.get_username()             # userid = user.objects.get(username=username).values('__id')             userdetails = user.objects.filter(username=username)             photo = photo.objects.get(username=request.user.id)             return render_to_response('profile_detail.html',{'userdetails':userdetails,'username':username,'photo':photo},                                         context_instance=requestcontext(request)) 

and template profile_detail -

{% extends 'profile.html' %}  {% load bootstrap_toolkit %}  {% block content %}      <img src="{{ photo.image.url }}" alt="{{ photo.alt_text }}" />     <br>     <p>{{ user.first_name }}</p>     <p>{{ user.last_name }}</p>     <p>{{ user.email }}</p>  {% endblock %}
