How i have to configure the file setting.py in a way that in my template when i write via CSS background-image : url("PAE.jpg") the image is load

I believe the best way of doing this is to have your image(s) in static/images and your css in static/css.  Then you can use a relative URL to set the background image like so:

background-image : url("../images/PAE.jpg")

It's better not to have any CSS mixed in with your HTML anyway.

Thanks

 i have try but with no result, i have set as follow:

MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/luca72/Scrivania/Quintas_Disegno_definitivo/quintas/quintas/static/'

MEDIA_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_URL = ''

STATIC_ROOT = ''

STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/home/luca72/Scrivania/Quintas_Disegno_definitivo/quintas/quintas/static/',

inside the static i have made two folders images and css, now in the template i load the css in this way  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="..css/base.css" />

But i get that he is not find, but the file base.css is inside the folder.

i think  that i have to configure MEDIA_ and STATIC_ ROOT and URL correctly.

Can you help me to configure it.

Thanks

Make sure that all your static settings are okay on your app. Since you mentioned that you are using apache;
install mod_wsgi

 be sure to add some stuff to your httpd.conf file eg;
#added by guy
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

<IfModule ssl_module>
    SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
    SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
</IfModule>

Alias /appname/robots.txt "absolutepathtoapp/robots.txt"
Alias /appname/favicon.ico "absolutepathtoapp/favicon.ico"

#match main site resources
AliasMatch ^/appname/staticfolder/(.*) absolutepathtoapp/staticfolder/$1

Alias /appname/staticmediafolder/ "absolutepathtoapp/staticmediafolder/"

WSGIScriptAlias /appname"absolutepathtoapp/wsgi.py"

<Directory "absolutepathtoapprootfolder/Stark">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>
#end of added by guy
