As i am new to all this, and the site seems to work…should i just ignore it ?
Many thanks,

Steve,
This is ok. Django can’t find a favicon, so it tells you and moves on.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
Browsers always request favicons for your site. If they don’t find a relevant <link>, they request /favicon.ico. If you want the experience for your site, you should add one. But it’s not a huge problem, as @jlgimeno says.
See https://learndjango.com/tutorials/django-favicon-tutorial for a favicon tutorial.
Thanks for replies …
I dont quite get this as the “site” is a newly made one…ie i have not changed anything its the standard django setup ?

Django does not add a favicon by default when creating a new project. It’s not required, and as @adamchainz indicated, it’s not difficult to add one. That exercise is left to the developer to add if they see fit.
