Re: can't find static file

Hi Gary. Did you read the section Serving static files during development. If you don't maybe this happen because you didn't add this code in the project/urls.py.

rom django.conf import settings  from django.conf.urls.static import static    urlpatterns = patterns('',      # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...  ) + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

I hope this help you.

I'm working my way through the Tango With Rango tutorial and have hit a snag. I added the static/images directory and put in a jpg photo for data. The system can't find the file. I've tried the usual python manage.py runserver and then used /127.0.0.1:8000/static/images/P1000153.JPG which produces:

        Request Method:         GET
        Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/image/P1000153.JPG

        'image/P1000153.JPG' could not be found

I tried the python manage.py findstatic. Same results. Below are my project tree and my settings.py file. Probably a stupid error but I can't find it.
