Static files at webfaction not served

I deployed askbot on webfaction server by following the instructions at http://community.webfaction.com/questions/8400/need-help-for-askbot-installation. I also have done to run python2.7 manage.py collectstatic and the DEBUG setting are False

When I visit my website (androidterengganu.com) it looks like the following image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/750152/askbot.png

All the css & image rendering is gone. Am I missing some step ?

You have to create another app in Webfaction - a Static Only app. And point it to say /m to serve the site Static content.

You could also create another one to serve /upfiles - the user-uploaded files more efficiently.

@Evgeny isn't uploads be handled by django only? Because we have some django logic that checks for each user, whether he is allowed to upload files (there is a check for minimum reputation points to have before uploading and that is to be handled by django app) And so just because of this logic the front-end server in this case nginx should not be used for that. Please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere. :)

Uploads are handled by django, but serving of the uploaded files is better done directly by the webserver (nginx/apache, etc.)
