[Solved]-Django : Static content not found

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.

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.

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

DEBUG = True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = []

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

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

Just Like that:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

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

I had the same issue in Django.
I added to my settings: STATIC_ROOT = ‘static/’

It was the only problem.
