Setting up a django site but I can't get it to serve static files.
In the settings file
import os
# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
SETTINGS_DIR = os.path.dirname(__file__)
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.join(SETTINGS_DIR, os.pardir)
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.abspath(PROJECT_PATH)
TEMPLATE_PATH = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'templates')
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'angular/js')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
In the template
<script src="/static/js/angular.min.js"></script>
I can serve the template which is in the main directory angular and inside it is the static folder angular/static/js/angular.min.js
Add following code in setting.py file
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"deploy_to_server")
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)
And use in your template
<script src="/static/js/angular.min.js"></script>
Create static folder in your project
==> static ==> js ==> angular.min.js
==> manage.py
Hope this is help you
Dont make STATIC_ROOT specific for an app. It should be of whole project scope.So my recommendation
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
Then add an app named angular as any other app.
Add to INSTALLED_APPS
create folders static/angular/js inside it like
angular/static/angular/js
Copy angular.min.js inside it as
angular/static/angular/js/angular.min.js
access it via src=/static/angular/js/angular.min.js
So there will not not be much change in production also.

I tried to get my project set up with static files and I do not seem to be successful. I want a global static files instead of an in-app one and so my settings.py is
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS =[os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'assets')
And as such my directory is
The issue I face is that my vendor folders will not load. Only images do and my custom css file.
What I did is move animate.min.css to the css folder and it worked but I wonder if being inside many folders affects it.
root urls.py
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL,document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')] # It will be deactivated when running collectstatic. Active on localhost
#STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/') # It will be activated when running collectstatic. Active on server
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
In the result (real server) the css, js and images are not connected, but the thing is that in localhost it works perfect. I dont know what any other details do you need so write comment and I will edit this queston :)
from pathlib import Path
import os
# Build paths inside the project like this: BASE_DIR / 'subdir'.
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(__file__)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [STATIC_DIR]
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = 'uni_form'
LOGIN_URL = ''
Most probably you misconfigured nginx file or did not mention in nginx file.
You need to write path in nginx file something like below:
location static_url {
alias static_dir
}
I tried deploying Django project to www.pythonanywhere.com, My website ran but could not load static files.
I did collectstatic command in hosting server console but got error.
my project file configuration as follows
myproject # parent directory
-DjangoApp1 # an app inside project
-Myproject main file(includes manage.py etc)
-DjangoApp2 # an app inside project
-DjangoApp3 (in this app my static files located `DjangoApp3/static/DjangoApp3` )
in settings.py file
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "/static/")
STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/DjangoApp3/static/DjangoApp3/',)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
when I run collectstatic method in local machine ,below error occured
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\DjangoApp3\\static'
This works
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "/static/")
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles'),)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
I've covered the three in an answer here before
Try this:
STATIC_ROOT = 'staticfiles'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')),
)
I am new to Django and I am trying to setup a static folder for my project.
I am trying to place the static files in the following folder:
/portfolio-project/portfolio/static
I have made the following additions to settings.py:
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'portfolio/static/'),
]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '/static/')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
However, after running collectstatic the static folder is created in: /portfolio-project/
You can customize STATIC_ROOT if you want to.
in your case
STATIC_URL = '/portfolio/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'portfolio/static/')
I've set Static and Media root as well as url's in my django app, as follows:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")
MEDIA_URL = '/crl/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'config/crl/')
It is working great, but I want to add another MEDIA_URL & MEDIA_ROOT to serve files from the /certs/ directory as follows:
NEW_MEDIA_URL = '/certs/'
NEW_MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'config/certs/')
Is there any way to do it?
I'm using Django 2.0.6 and Python 3.5
Multiple static URLs and static roots can be added to Django using the following steps.
Configure a BASE_DIR
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
Create as many static roots and static URLs as you need
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")
# the "static/" above is a directory inside the Django Project Directory
STATIC_URL_1 = '/static-1/'
STATIC_ROOT_1 = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static_1/")
Similarly, you can create as many media roots and media URLs as you need
MEDIA_URL = '/crl/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'config/crl/')
MEDIA_URL_1 = '/crl-1/'
MEDIA_ROOT_1 = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'config/crl_1/')
