static file serve nothing is load in deployment

[luca72.b...@gmail.com]

Hello i have this configuration in settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static_files/'
STATIC_ROOT =  'D:/prova_nuovo_sito/static_files'

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'polls.apps.PollsConfig',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

The folder where I store the file is  'D:/prova_nuovo_sito/static_files'

in this folder I have a subfolder polls with all the needed file

The template I write as follow:

{% load static %}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "polls/style.css" %}" media="screen">

What is wrong

Thanks

Is this in production? Are you using apache or something? if yes, please take a look at https://djangodeployment.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/how-static-files-work-apache.png. Otherwise, please explain in more detail what your deployment environment looks like.

no i'm not in production

i'm running with runserver

I would check a couple of things:

1. You need to have DEBUG set to True in your settings.py[a]
2. Make sure D:/prova_nuovo_sito/static_files/polls/style.css exists

If you are running the server with "manage.py runserver", STATIC_ROOT is irrelevant. You should put the "polls" directory in "polls/static", i.e. e.g. "polls/static/polls/style.css"; this is relative to the folder where "manage.py" is.
