Serving static files and media in Django 1.7.1

[Sithembewena Lloyd Dube]

Hi everyone,

I have a Django 1.7.1 project structured as per documentation. In it, I have an app called "mainsite". In mainsite, I have templates/mainsite/index.html and static/mainsite/bootstrap.css. In the index template, I use {% load staticfiles %} and then for css I have the following link: <link href="{% static "css/bootstrap.css" %}" rel="stylesheet"> However, when I load the page in the browser, the css does not load and when in "view source" mode, I click the link href ("/static/css/bootstrap.css"). This generates a 404 error.

What am I missing? Any suggestions welcome.

P.S: I have the STATIC_URL = '/static/' setting defined in the settings file.

the static tag should be 

{% static 'mainsite/bootstrap.css' %}

according to the layout you said
