Hi, I just spent hours on this problem, and (at last) stumbled into the Stack Overflow answer, and wanted to preserve this for posterity.
I'm using Django 1.8, and wasn't able to get my static files to load on my local server. I finally found the Stack Overflow answe <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29957604/django-1-8-static-files-doesnt-work>r that made all the difference - pasted below. I haven't seen this in the official docs for Django 1.8. Snippet below: I put this in my settings.py: STATICFILES_FINDERS = ( "django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder", "django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder",) STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
