About the static file path

[sopython]

I want to use a static file. So I create a static folder under the project folder and put the file under the static folder. And I also added the needed info in settings.py, url.py and the html. But it still doesn't work. Is the something wrong in my files? Or there is something which need the admin's configure?

 

What have been added in settings.py:

 

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

... ...

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_collected')
 
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
  ]

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
    "django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder"

 

*****************************************************************************

What added in url.py:

 

from django.conf.urls.static import static

 

**************************************************

What added in html:

 

{% load static %}

 

background-image: url("{% static "pyStocks/imgs/background-cloth.png"%}");

Did you add an exception for the static directory in your .htaccess?

Oh, yes, that's the reason. It works after adding the exception. Thanks!
