Re: Django 2.2.6 fails to serve some static files in Windows 10

[Desh Deepak]

You need to edit external css link:

Solution:

href="{% static 'css/styles.css' %}"

My urls.py (last part):

if ENVIRONMENT=="development":

import debug_toolbar

urlpatterns += [path('__debug__/',include (debug_toolbar.urls))]

urlpatterns += static(MEDIA_URL,document_root=MEDIA_ROOT)

urlpatterns += static(STATIC_URL,document_root=STATIC_ROOT)

urlpatterns += router.urls

My settings:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR , 'static')

MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR + '/media/'

(...)

MEDIA_URL='/media/'

I also tried with and without the following setting in several variants:

STATIFCILES_DIRS = ["","//",STATIC_ROOT,"%userprofile%\\Desktop\\myproject\\myproject\\"]

The template: The error happens both with  href="/static/css/styles.css" and {% load static %} (...) href="{% static css/styles.css}" . I think the template is not the problem here.

The error:"GET /static/css/styles.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1767

The error takes place also with static requests (http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/css/styles.css)

Strange behaviour: 

If I change the setting static_url to STATIC_URL = "static/" the css file is served. However, debug_toolbar ceases to serve her own static files and doesn't work anymore ("GET /myproject/static/debug_toolbar/img/ajax-loader.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 14554)

I have tried many things, to no avail.

Thank you.

Thank you, to Ajjet and Desh.

That solution doesn't work.

I keep getting the error: [03/Oct/2019 23:08:39] "GET /static/css/styles.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1767

If I request the file "manually" (http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/css/styles.css), I still get the error.

I think this might be a bug.

It renders the static css files if I configure it as

STATIC_URL = 'static/'

and then change my code to href="/static/css/styles.css">

This breaks compatibility with django toolbar, though...

I think this might be a bug.

Hi.

It seems that you have mixed some concepts here.

First you rarely need to manually serve static files in development. Django takes care of that when using runserver.

STATIC_ROOT is location where static files are collected when you run collectstatic management command. And that command you usually run when deploying your site to production.

STATIC_URL is absolute path to static assets. With runserver django serves static files using this url.

In production you usually need to configure your webserver to serve files from STATIC_ROOT using url defined by STATIC_URL.

Media file serving is a different story and that you have to do yourself since django doesn't have any default serving for them.

Also you never put STATIC_ROOT to STATICFILES_DIRS.

Because then you would with collectstatic command copy STATICFILES_DIRS to STATIC_ROOT...

Hi, 

once you try with href="/static/css/styles.css">

and discard STATIC_URL completely. Check whether the css is rendered or not? If yes, then the static-files of your project are not loaded properly.

If no, then it is definitely a bug in(2.2.6).

Thank you.

This problem also happens in Linux, with exactly the same symptoms. A workaround has been found! It works when the file is in the proper staticfiles folder and not inside a subdirectory.

If I add "styles.css" to the directories:

STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'css').replace("\\", "/")]

and then I execute manage.py collectstatic the file is collected and placed on the \static\ directory.

The path that works is http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/styles.css, and I have changed the template accordingly ({% static "styles.css" %}. There are not 404 errors anymore.

It seems staticfiles app doesn't like directories for static files (they do work with apps, like django_toolbar). I have not tried to collect the file within another different directory.

Regarding the proposed solution:

>discard STATIC_URL completely

it gives me an error, STATIC_URL seems to be required. 

  Thank you.
