So I'm using sass to update my Django site and I am using git to version the whole thing. I recently made an update to CSS file that had some bad errors in it. Sass compiled the changes and I pushed the new version to the server. I have looked on the server and the new css file is in fact there and reflects the changes, however when I look at our site the css file is being referenced as a cached file:

"/static/CACHE/css/35ed7f45f0e3.css"

Unfortunatley this cached version still has the errors in it, how can I tell django and memcache to refresh this reference so my site doesn't look like poop?

I have tried clearing the cache via the shell but the old cached file reference persists in my html.

python manage.py collectstatic

Yep, this was it, as soon as I read your comment I groaned out loud. The dev that trained my actually made a point of explaining this to me as if he knew I would screw this up someday. Thank you much Adrien!
I get the next django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path. It means that collecstatic is a plugin and I am not using it?

If python manage.py collectstatic solution doesn't work and everything is correct in your code.
Press ctr + F5 in your browser to bypass the cache.

Then it will work hopefully.
