title: Getting Page not found (404) in Django 1.3.1 from bad url pattern
body: <p>I am following along with <a href="http://codingnstuff.com/2010/01/a-complete-blog-engine-using-django-in-60-minutes/3/" rel="nofollow">this Django blog tutorial</a> and can not get the url pattern given in the tutorial to work properly. The <code>url.py</code> code the author gives is</p>
  
  <pre><code>(r'^static/(?P
  .*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
      {'document_root': 'c:/static/adornment'}),)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I adapted it to my Linux set up like this </p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
  
  urlpatterns = patterns('',
          (r'^static/(.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
              {'document_root': '/home/sez/blog/static/image.png'}
          ),
  )  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and after going to <code>http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/image.png</code> I received the following error </p>
  
  <pre><code>Page not found (404)
  Request Method: GET
  Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/image.png
  'image.png' could not be found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>How can I make this work?</strong></p>
