STATICFILES on Django 1.6.2

Question

This is my settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),
)

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

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder',
)

My structure is:

manage.py
myproject
-- __init__.py
-- settings.py
-- urls.py
-- wsgi.py
-- static
----- css
----- img
-------- logo.png
----- scripts

I use the static tag in my html file like this: <img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}img/logo.png">

But, it is:

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) (logo.png, line 0)

I really can't understand this issue on Django 1.6.2 version.

Could someone help me to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You need to make sure that the django.contrib.staticfiles app is listed in INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django.contrib.staticfiles'
    ...
)

Lastly, you need to make sure that DEBUG is set to True in settings.py.

EDIT:

Try removing 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder' from STATICFILES_FINDERS. Then run $ python manage.py findstatic img/logo.png
