static files not found on development server

[Axel Rau]

Hi,

I can’t find the answer to this simple question:

Why do I get
[06/Jul/2017 09:54:20] "GET /static/css/bootstrap.min.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1676
on development server, while on production server, it works.

In production, I have
<link href=„{{ STATIC_URL }}css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">

On development, I have tried this and this:
<link href=„{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
Both do not work.

Config on (pathes have been checked and are ok):

INSTALLED_APPS = (
. . .
‚django.contrib.staticfiles',
. . .
)


MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
)

TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'APP_DIRS': False,
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),],
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
'django.template.context_processors.media',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.template.context_processors.static',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
# start - please add only if APP_DIRS is False
'loaders': [
'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
],
# end - please add only if APP_DIRS is False
'debug': True
}
}
]
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, „static")
##print(‚STATIC_ROOT = {}'.format(os.path.abspath(STATIC_ROOT)))

In production config, I have both staticfiles app and static template.context_processors disabled.

Thanks, Axel

On production, you're running a webserver that serves the `/static` url and have run `python manage.py collectstatic`.

 

On development, you're running a webserver that doesn't know the `/static` url or failed to run `python manage.py collectstatic`.

On development, I run the django-admin runserver, which AFAIK should take care of the static path.

I have checked out the static stuff on dev (static/), which was commited on prod server.

Hi Alex

Did you restart the development server. I think the static files are
collected at startup and newly added files are not recognized on the fly.

No, the development server recognizes new static files on the fly. However, it
can sometimes fail; for example, if you have removed the directory and recreate
it. So restarting it is a good idea when you are trying to debug it.
