django static file not loading
Solution 1
The URL to the static-Files is "yourDomain/static/"
When you want to access to your "style.css" you should use "/static/style.css" instead of "/polls/style.css"
EDIT:
Change this part of your settings.py
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
'/polls/static/'
)
to
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
'C:/django poll project/mysite/static'
)
better would be:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, '..', 'static'),
)
Then the folder is called "static" and is on the same level where the "manage.py" is. When you put your style.css in this "static"-folder you can call it with "/static/style.css"
Solution 2
Updated Answer For Django 2.2 - 2019
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
BASE_DIR is already defined in
settings.py
Also when loading, do {% load static %}
instead of {% load staticfiles %}
Solution 3
It worked for me :
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.normpath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, '..', 'static'),
)
Solution 4
Following the documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/howto/static-files/
And restarting the server worked for me
Solution 5
If problem bad variable {{STATIC_URL}} in template files, in settings.py add:
django.template.context_processors.static
here:
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': TEMPLATE_DIRS,
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.template.context_processors.static',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
