Django gives "GET /static/css/style.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0

python html css django django-staticfiles

Solution 1

An HTTP 304 response means "I don't need to fetch it again, since it hasn't changed since I got it last". So if that's the response code you got, you may not have a problem at all. Or did you mean 404 (not found)?

In any event, you normally don't serve static files with Django directly; you do it through your front-end server. On Heroku, they have a special app and setup to help with that. You can read about it at: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django-assets.

Also: you accidentally posted your SECRET_KEY in your message here. Please change that value to something else before you deploy or your site could have a serious security vulnerability. Keep that secret key a secret.

Solution 2

This could potentially be an issue when you do {% load static %} and then {% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}.

When you call {% load static %} it does it for you so you only need to specify the link to the static file you want dropping out the static nested within the href statement.

Solution 3

I had the same problem with favicon.png, just force browsers to update the cache by adding a GET parameter:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{% static 'favicon.png' %}?ver=2"/>

ok so My

Index.html is

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Kodeworms</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet"  href="{{ STATIC_URL }}css/style.css" />
    </head>
    <body class="logged-out">
    </body>
</html>

style.css

.logged-out {
    background-image: href=("{{ STATIC_URL }}img/landing.jpg") no-repeat center 30px;
    background-size: 90%;
}

Now my index.html is stored in *project_name/project_name/templates* and my style.css is stored in *project_name/assets/css* and the image is stored in *project_name/assets/img*

my setting.py is

What Should I do to get the image load in background from css ?

Now I'm getting this error "GET /static/css/%7B%7B%20STATIC_URL%20%7D%7D/img/landing.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404

Django isn't processing your CSS file, so Django template things like {{STATIC_URL}} aren't going to get changed in them. You could either change this to a relative-to-the-CSS-file URL (probably ../img/landing.jpg) or to a absolute-to-site-root URL (/static/img/landing.jpg).

Alright, this may have been an outdated question. But, just for additional information, I found the following link to be useful in debugging the reference to the css file. Look at the comment by deed02392 in the question. He mentioned to use: python manage.py findstatic --verbosity 2 css/styles.css and it helped me solve my problem. Just in case anyone came to the same problem with me.
