Server responds by "text/html" to a "text/css" request
Question: **PROBLEM:** When I try to access the web page (localhost/mysite/admin), all
goes well, except the CSS files which my server can't deliver !!

[I got a **500 Internal Server Error**](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0VNcT.png)

[By investigating the problem, I found that the server returns a **text/html**
instead of **text/css**](http://i.stack.imgur.com/s4wTn.png)

**Apache 2.4.23 / mod_wsgi 4.5.5 / Python 3.4.2 / Django 1.8 on Linux Debian
(64-bit)**

Note that the file `/usr/local/apache2/conf/mime.types` include the following
line: `text/css css`


Answer: @Ankush Raghuvanshi: Yes, it serves all kind of files except CSS ! Also, when
I us the built-in development server (which I run by using the command `python
manage.py runserver` ): these CSS files works fine on my website.
