Problem with the flask web development tutorial

EDIT: nevermind, I found the problem: I accidentally had my code in /var/www/FlaskApp/ and not in /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/

I'm trying to do the flask application tutorial but I ran into problems: if I put the code into  __init__.py as instructed (I did everything as instructed in the video and the page, twice), apache does not find it. I can get it working if I copy the python code from __init__.py into FlaskApp.py file. However, now I'm running into other problems that I think might be related: when I try to access files in the static directory like <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/static/favicon.ico"> apache complains it cannot find the .ico file. It seems it tries to search for it at actual /static/ directory, not /var/www/FlaskApp/static directory.

Also, I'm bit confused why we created the virtualenv environment in the tutorial as we are not apparently using it for anything?

kind regards
