There is a slight difference:
* STATIC_ROOT is where you would like the files to be collected to
when you run "manage.py collectstatic" and should be empty to begin
with.
* STATICFILES_DIRS is where the actual files are located and they will
be automagically servered under the development server.
* You can also create a folder called "static" in any app and put
files in there.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or am I missing something but I've
created a very simple test environment and placed a single png file
within my static folder.
The file is being served fine when I set :
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
'/Users/guynesher/Work/play/quicktest/testproj/static/',
)
however I'm geting a 404 error when I set it like this :
STATIC_ROOT = '/Users/guynesher/Work/play/quicktest/testproj/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
)
Based on the STATICFILES_DIRS comment (Additional locations of static
files) I expected I will only need to use it if I have multiple static
files directory which doesn't seem to be the case.
What am I missing here?
