I'm having trouble sorting my static directory and linking css files through templates in html pages with django. I keep getting the error "Not Found: /CSS/bootstrap.min.css"
I know this is a problem with how my directory is set up in settings.py but I can't seem to fix the issue. Below is my code for settings.py and layout.html (the page i'm using the call the css file).
layout.html
{% load staticfiles %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Testing {% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
<link href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</div>
</body>
</html>
settings.py
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/static-files/
STATIC_URL = 'C:/Users/Luke/Desktop/Capstone/CapstoneNotespool/capstonenotespool/capstonenotespool/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
]
You are almost there! You just need to add the correct static file directory to your STATICFILES_DIRS.
I think You must check again your static url, I think you config be wrong.
Here is answer you looking for.

And this is my config for this
