So im building my own django site. Right now im stuck with loading the statics. im getting the following error in the console:
GET http://localhost:8000/static/css/style.css 500 (Internal Server Error)
Im trying to load a css file using the static taggs:
{{ STATIC_URL }}
in my settings i've edited the following:
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
STATIC_ROOT = os.environ.get('STATIC_ROOT',os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT,"static",))
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "static",),
)
also added the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.core.context_processors.debug',
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.media',
'django.core.context_processors.static',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
)
added the following to urls.py so i can navigate to localhost:8000/static/
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$',
'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),
)
I'm not sute what im doing wrong. The PROJECT_ROOT is directing to the root of the project. I'm also using that for my TEMPLATE_DIR, and that works fine.
Hopefully someone can enlighten me! I've been googling around, and looked at other questions, but as far as i can see, i did everything how i'm supposed to!
Thx in advance!!
