Have you tried removing {{ STATIC_URL }} and replacing it with a slash (/)? Or try appending the slash to the end of "E:/code/python/djangoBook/django-testapp-develop/static" in STATICFILES_DIRS.
You can also add DJANGO_ROOT = dirname(dirname(abspath(__file__))) to the top of your settings.py and then add this below it: STATIC_URL = '/static/' # Additional locations of static files STATICFILES_DIRS = ( normpath(join(DJANGO_ROOT, 'static')), ) That works for me in every project, although I don't use Windows, so it may be different in your case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
