Re: STATIC_ROOT confusion

Here's what I think is semantically good distinction:

PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))   (that's the dir containing your settings.py, that dir is usually one dir below your virtualenv, I simply name it "pr". You can then use PROJECT_ROOT to reference such as:

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static_root')

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (

    os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static/css'),

    os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static/img'),

    os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static/js'),

)

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (

    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',

    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',

)

PROJECT_ROOT, "pr" on the filesystem is what you get when you run django-admin.py startproject pr after you run mkvirtualenv foo.com (foo.com would then be the root of your virtualenv; some also call it SITE_ROOT in Django context because they keep web server config, Sass files, etc. there). Here's the dir structure I came to enjoy, also because it maps nicely to the settings posted above:

Hi,

Your STATICFILES_DIRS should not be set to static.

Create a new theme directory, put your files there and update your STATICFILES_DIRS.

Have a look at http://www.linovia.com/blog/django-staticfiles-troubleshooting/ for an example.
