Hey there, I’m completely new to Aurelia, and I’m trying to make it work with Django, but i’m having some trouble getting Aurelia configs right.

in Django setttings.py I’ve defined a static url and static files dir :

```
STATIC_URL = '/webapp/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'webapp')]

```

I generated my aurelia app with au new (default), then in index.html changed the vendor-bundle.js link to accommodate my static\_url. I then do au build and run the server. It loads the index.html, and the vendor-bundle.js, but then the app-bundle.js it tries to load without the static\_url and fails. I’ve tried to put the “baseUrl”: \<static\_url\> in the aurelia.json, but still no success. I would like to know how to change the base path in aurelia. Thanks in advanced.

You’ll have to modify aurelia\_project.json as well to accomodate for baseUrl

check out the docs

Thanks I think I got it, however it feels kind of weird because I’m pointing at the scripts folder and not a the actual base path of the project, that is what I was doing wrong the last time.  
“baseUrl”: “webapp/basePath”  
instead of:  
“baseUrl”: “webapp/basePath/scripts”

Anyway, it seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the help 😉
