I want to be able to load my static files on my local server, but when I request them, the browser returns 404 for every resource.
From what I can understand, STATIC_URL is the url in which my static files will be served. And STATICFILES_FINDERS specifies how my static files will be discovered. I set STATICFILES_DIRS to search for the static directory at the project root, but it doesn't seem to be be finding it.
On my settings.py,
# Python 2.7.5, Django 1.6
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
)
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),)
This is my directory structure:
.
|-- myapp
|-- settings.py
|-- ...
static
|-- images
|-- javascript
|-- stylesheets
