Error on loading bootstrap loader, using django (not found the css)

Question

I am new with django and python, have create a test project which works well until the point try to change the design like css, js and some img. I installed bootstrap as well, when I upload the three files, css, js and img, The page can not find my css file and others. On my server display this message:

[30/Jan/2014 11:19:15] "GET /static/ HTTP/1.1" 404 1614 [30/Jan/2014 11:19:34] "GET /static/css/bootstrap.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1655

I tried ti find the css page from developer section on firework which jump to this page: Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL:

localhost:8000/static/css/bootstrap.css 'css/bootstrap.css' could not be found You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

And below is the link on base.html to the css files. href="/static/css/bootstrap.css"

Could you please give me an idea what is wrong here, I do appreciate?

Thanks Dilshad

It would be nice to know the folder structure of your project, at least the full path of the bootstrap.css file — abidibo

if you have your css folder in static folder and you have this in your settings.py:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
'/var/www/static/',
)

and you have this in INSTALLED_APPS:

'django.contrib.staticfiles',

then use this in your template:

{% load staticfiles %}
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static "css/bootstrap.css" %}">

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your answer, Unfortunately I have most exactly the same in the setting files only the templates I have include your what you wrote, I have the content but the design is not what is in Bootstrap just display the content in the left hand.

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(file)) INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'join', 'south', ) STATIC_URL = '/static/' TEMPLATE_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'templates'), ) MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'media') STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'static-only') STATICFIELS_DIR = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '/var/www/static', '/var/www/static'), ) that is all my settings file
