Django : Static Content Not Found

I have been breaking my head over this for a full day but can't figure out the problem. It happened after I copied my project from one machine to another. Settings.py STATIC_URL =

Solution 1:

In your settings.py

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Then in your template file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}css/home.css">

With the directory root structure that you have shown, I think the above setting should work. Have not tested it though. Let me know if it works.

Solution 2:

set DEBUG=True and see if it works .. this means, django will serve your static files, and not httpserver which in this case doesnt exist since you run the app locally.

Solution 3:

I had researched this problem for a full day. This will be okay:

DEBUG = TrueALLOWED_HOSTS = []

Solution 4:

Django default BASE_DIR will search static content for you. But in your case you changed the way before initial project. So for that in your case you have to change your BASE_DIR like this .. then only static file will serve correctly

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__) + '../../../')

Updated:

I didn't see that comment. ! DEBUG = True only for development and You set as False so will django use STATIC_ROOT = 'staticfiles' to serve the static content on the production environment ... Thank you

Solution 5:

You don't have to refer to STATIC_ROOT = 'staticfiles'

Just Like that:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
           os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)
