Static file is not opening in Django project-- error 404 1825?-CodePudding

I am constantly getting 404 error when my page is trying to load static image file.

ERROR:

[12/Aug/2022 12:02:54] "GET /myApp/ HTTP/1.1" 200 370 [12/Aug/2022 12:02:54] "GET /static/myApp/images/cofee.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 1825

SETTINGS:

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
my_templates = Path(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
static_dir = Path(BASE_DIR, "static")

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    static_dir, 
]

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    {% load static %}
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>We are here to Help</h1>
    <img src="{% static 'myApp/images/cofee.jpg' %}" alt= " no show ">
    
    
</body>
</html>

NOTE: server is running without error and page is loading just fine with heading1 showing but static image is not showing.

CodePudding user response：

change your setting and first import os like:

import os

and use this code as well:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

# Add these new lines
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'YourAppName/static'),
)

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
