Re: Django 2.2.6 fails to serve some static files in Windows 10

Hi.

It seems that you have mixed some concepts here.

First you rarely need to manually serve static files in development. Django takes care of that when using runserver.

STATIC_ROOT is location where static files are collected when you run collectstatic management command. And that command you usually run when deploying your site to production.

STATIC_URL is absolute path to static assets. With runserver django serves static files using this url.

In production you usually need to configure your webserver to serve files from STATIC_ROOT using url defined by STATIC_URL.

Media file serving is a different story and that you have to do yourself since django doesn't have any default serving for them.

My system: Windows 10 1903. Python 3.7.4, 64 bit.

My directory structure:

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/manage.py

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/some_app (...)

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/db.sqlite3

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/urls.py

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/static (...)

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/static/css (...)

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/media (...)

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/some_apps (...)

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/settings/

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/settings/__init__.py

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/settings/settings_base.py

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/settings/settings_devel.py

%USERPROFILE%/Desktop/myproject/myproject/settings/settings_production.py

My urls.py (last part):

if ENVIRONMENT=="development":

import debug_toolbar

urlpatterns += [path('__debug__/',include (debug_toolbar.urls))]

urlpatterns += static(MEDIA_URL,document_root=MEDIA_ROOT)

urlpatterns += static(STATIC_URL,document_root=STATIC_ROOT)

urlpatterns += router.urls

My settings:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR , 'static')

MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR + '/media/'

(...)

MEDIA_URL='/media/'

I also tried with and without the following setting in several variants:

STATIFCILES_DIRS = ["","//",STATIC_ROOT,"%userprofile%\\Desktop\\myproject\\myproject\\"]

The template: The error happens both with  href="/static/css/styles.css" and {% load static %} (...) href="{% static css/styles.css}" . I think the template is not the problem here.

The error:"GET /static/css/styles.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1767

The error takes place also with static requests (http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/css/styles.css)

Strange behaviour: 

If I change the setting static_url to STATIC_URL = "static/" the css file is served. However, debug_toolbar ceases to serve her own static files and doesn't work anymore ("GET /myproject/static/debug_toolbar/img/ajax-loader.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 14554)

I have tried many things, to no avail.

Thank you.
