Re: Trouble with CSS/Static Files

Hi, 

>Have you ran 
>$ manage.py collectstatic

Can you explain why I need to do this on my dev machine when I am not deploying it to production ? If I look at the docs at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#deployment , it mentions that I need to run this to deploy it. However, the problem I was getting was on my local system.

I am not sure where I am going wrong, but the CSS files are just not getting picked up. I have just started a project and am using the dev server with the runserver command. 

Here's my relevant settings.py : 


STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),'/static/')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

My directory structure : 
.
├── homepage
│   └── templates
│       └── homepage
├── qj
└── static
    ├── css
    ├── img
    └── js

qj is where my settings.py file is. 
static is where i have the css. I am using bootstrap css files. I want it to be at the top location as these files are going to be used in all the apps that i will be writing.
homepage is where i have the index page that I am trying to link the css to. the html is as follows : 

$ cat homepage/templates/homepage/index.html 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  {% load static %}
    <title>Hello World!</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<!-- Bootstrap -->
<link href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
  </head>
  <body>
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="static/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

I am trying both the {% static <url> %} and the hardcoded static/js to see if it is working. The following is the output i get on loading the / page: 

[04/Apr/2013 12:23:38] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 413
[04/Apr/2013 12:23:38] "GET /static/css/bootstrap.min.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1667
[04/Apr/2013 12:23:38] "GET /static/js/bootstrap.min.js HTTP/1.1" 404 1661

It just is not picking up the css or the js file. What am I doing wrong ?

Vibhu
