💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a string "True" instead of boolean True

Setting DEBUG to False disables debug mode

Setting DEBUG = True enables debug mode in Django, which shows detailed error pages.

medium

Complete the code to allow Django to serve static files during development when debug mode is on.

Django

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=[1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Asettings.STATIC_ROOT

Bsettings.MEDIA_URL

Csettings.MEDIA_ROOT

Dsettings.STATICFILES_DIRS

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using MEDIA_ROOT instead of STATIC_ROOT

Using MEDIA_URL which is a URL, not a path

When DEBUG is True, Django serves static files from STATIC_ROOT.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to properly show detailed error pages only when debug mode is on.

Django

if [1]:
    # show detailed error page
    pass

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Asettings.DEBUG

BDEBUG = True

CDEBUG == False

Dsettings.DEBUG == False

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using assignment (=) instead of comparison (==)

Checking for False instead of True

Use settings.DEBUG to check if debug mode is on. The other options are incorrect syntax or logic.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to configure Django to show detailed error pages and allow all hosts during development.

Django

DEBUG = [1]
ALLOWED_HOSTS = [[2]]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ATrue

B"*"

C"localhost"

DFalse

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting DEBUG to False disables debug mode

Using 'localhost' only restricts to local host

Setting DEBUG = True enables debug mode. Using "*" in ALLOWED_HOSTS allows all hosts during development.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to disable debug mode, set allowed hosts, and configure static files root.

Django

DEBUG = [1]
ALLOWED_HOSTS = [[2]]
STATIC_ROOT = [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ATrue

B"example.com"

CBASE_DIR / "staticfiles"

DFalse

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Leaving DEBUG as True in production

Using wildcard '*' in ALLOWED_HOSTS in production

Set DEBUG = False to disable debug mode in production. ALLOWED_HOSTS should list your domain. STATIC_ROOT is the folder where static files are collected.
