Django 1.5.4中的STATIC_URL问题

Question

I wanted to enable serving static files through django 1.5 builtin development server. I came across a strange problem.

If I make a request to my static file using localhost:8000/static/staticstyle.css then it responds me with 404 not found. But If I make a request to the same file without the value mentioned in the STATIC_URL and add the url pattern as "url(r'^anyval_other_than_mentioned_STATIC_URL/', django.views.static.serve,{'document_setting':settings.STATIC_ROOT}), " , then it responds me with 304 , which is conditional get.

I have collected all the static files in the static directory setup in the settings file and enabled all the context processor required for the template.

For production I have used nginx to serve the static file so there is no problem.

My settings.py looks like

STATIC_ROOT = APPLICATION_PATH+"/static/"

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    ('vendors',APPLICATION_PATH+'/vendors'),
    ('admin/assets/',APPLICATION_PATH+'/templates/admin/assets'),
    # Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static".
    # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
    # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
)

My application urls.py looks like

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),  
) + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

Any hints would be highly appreciated.

Thank you .

please read this first https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/howto/static-files/

There are some settings related to static files serve The list of finder backends that know how to find static files in various locations.

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

Absolute path to the directory static files should be collected to

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(APPLICATION_PATH, '..', 'static')

URL prefix for static files.

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

You can specify Additional locations of static files

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(APPLICATION_PATH, 'vendors'),
    os.path.join(APPLICATION_PATH, '/templates/admin/assets'),
)

There is special application for static serve in django contrib

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

After You have configured your project run collectstatic command

python manage.py collectstatic

This will copy all files from your static folders into the STATIC_ROOT directory.
