Directory indexes are not allowed here

I am new to Django, but have tried innumerable things. We're using Django 1.7.3. I need to be able to see the contents of to load into a JS program. I can access static files, but can not get the index of folders.

I have defined in settings:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Currently my URL code looks like:

urlpatterns += patterns('',
#...
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '/static/', 'show_indexes' : True}),
)

Thanks in advance.
