This is the same problem that occurs with using app-specific templates directories. If you just throw the files directly under templates in the app, you’ll end up with name collisions if two apps or even the project-level templates directory utilize templates of the same name. The fix for that is to actually put the templates … Read more
Try running: python manage.py collectstatic Does the test work now? If so, this might be the configuration causing a problem: STATICFILES_STORAGE = ‘whitenoise.django.GzipManifestStaticFilesStorage’ as of whitenoise v4 this will fail and you should use: STATICFILES_STORAGE = ‘whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage’ Related: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32347324/2596187 Check out the Django documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage.manifest_strict

Development STATIC_ROOT is useless during development, it’s only required for deployment. While in development, STATIC_ROOT does nothing. You don’t even need to set it. Django looks for static files inside each app’s directory (myProject/appName/static) and serves them automatically. This is the magic done by manage.py runserver when DEBUG=True. Deployment When your project goes live, things … Read more

STATIC_ROOT The absolute path to the directory where ./manage.py collectstatic will collect static files for deployment. Example: STATIC_ROOT=”/var/www/example.com/static/” now the command ./manage.py collectstatic will copy all the static files(ie in static folder in your apps, static files in all paths) to the directory /var/www/example.com/static/. now you only need to serve this directory on apache or … Read more
# Older Django <3.0 (also deprecated in 2.0): from django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles import static # Django 3.0+ from django.templatetags.static import static url = static(‘x.jpg’) url now contains ‘/static/x.jpg’, assuming a static path of ‘/static/’
If you still need to server static locally (e.g. for testing without debug) you can run devserver in insecure mode: manage.py runserver –insecure
