I tried to use static files in Django. When I access files directly (by ../static/1.txt), it gives me Error 404 or Error 500 (depends on what Stackoverflow answer I follow)

What's wrong with this settings file?
Why can't I access static files in my directory "static/mysite"?
And here is the link to the source code of the app I think that I may be missing something very simple...
In your settings.py, define the STATIC_ and MEDIA_ values:
# Absolute filesystem path to the directory that will hold user-uploaded files.
# Example: "/home/media/media.lawrence.com/media/"
MEDIA_ROOT = '/path/to/mydjangosite/media/'
# URL that handles the media served from MEDIA_ROOT. Make sure to use a
# trailing slash.
# Examples: "http://media.lawrence.com/media/", "http://example.com/media/"
MEDIA_URL = 'http://www.mydjangosite.com/media/'
# Absolute path to the directory static files should be collected to.
# Don't put anything in this directory yourself; store your static files
# in apps' "static/" subdirectories and in STATICFILES_DIRS.
# Example: "/home/media/media.lawrence.com/static/"
STATIC_ROOT = '/path/to/mydjangosite/static/'
# URL prefix for static files.
# Example: "http://media.lawrence.com/static/"
STATIC_URL = 'http://www.mydjangosite.com/static/'
Also, ensure that the correct STATICFILES_FINDERS are configured:
# List of finder classes that know how to find static files in
# various locations.
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
# 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder',
)
The AppDirectoriesFinder must be enabled to collect static files from the static/ sub-directory within each app. Additionally, ensure that your apps are included in the INSTALLED_APPS setting or else the AppDirectoriesFinder won't know where to look for static files:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.humanize',
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
'django.contrib.admin',
# Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
# 'django.contrib.admindocs',
# DJANGO SOUTH
'south',
# MY APPS
'my_django_app',
)
Then, to collect static from the various app folders (e.g. my_project/my_app/static) you must invoke the manage.py command collectstatic:
python manage.py collectstatic
This moves all the various apps' static files into the folder specified by STATIC_ROOT in settings.py.
Finally, ensure that your static folder is served directly by your web server and not via the Django WSGI application. For Apache2 /etc/apache2/sites-available/my_django_site.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mydjangosite.com
ServerAlias mydjangosite.com
ServerAdmin fake#mydjangosite.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/mydjangosite
<Directory /path/to/mydjangosite>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /static/ /path/to/mydjangosite/static/
<Directory /path/to/mydjangosite/static>
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /media/ /path/to/mydjangosite/media/
<Directory /path/to/mydjangosite/media>
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
# The following installs the Django WSGI app
WSGIDaemonProcess www.mydjangosite.com processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup www.mydjangosite.com
WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mydjangosite/wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>
An explicit Alias definition and a Directory tag for the alias'd directory will override any WSGI application running in a higher-level parent directory.
Execute sudo service apache2 restart to load the new site.conf configuration.
Staticfiles in Django is one of the more confusing parts of the framework in my opinion. Django expects you to put static files into a folder that will be served locally during development, but collected to another directory, along with any other static media 3rd party app modules might be using, in production as a result of running manage.py collectstatic
Here is the directory structure that I use, and a helper function to make life a little easier in regards to static files...
# A Sample Project structure
/sample_app
manage.py
/sample_app
# this directory is served by the 'staticfiles' app during development
# as specified by STATICFILES_DIRS for the location of the files
# and a STATIC_URL of '/static/'
/static-assets/
/css
/js
/images
# this directory is where all of the folders and files specified in the
# STATICFILES_DIRS setting get collected to for deployment. The files
# will be collected to the directory specified by the STATIC_ROOT setting.
/static
# settings.py
import os
# a helper function to return absolute paths, using settings.py
# as a starting point. This assumes Django >= 1.4.x
def map_path(directory_name):
return os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
'../' + directory_name).replace('\\', '/')
MEDIA_ROOT = map_path('static/uploads/')
MEDIA_URL = '/static/uploads/'
STATIC_ROOT = map_path('static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
map_path('static-assets'),
)
# You can also use map_path for other paths, like templates
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
map_path('templates),
)
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
...
'django.core.context_processors.request',
'django.core.context_processors.static'
...
)
Then you should be able to reference static files in your templates as:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
href="{{ STATIC_URL }}css/base.css" media="screen,projection" />
Another potential gotcha is that the staticfiles app only works when DEBUG = True

When I go to localhost:8000/static/updater/ I get Directory Indexes not allowed here error.
Any idea? I think there is some error in the way static files are being served. I am using extjs by the way.
I am expecting the index.html in static/updater/ directory to show up. Does it happen by default?
It seems that for some reason Django doesn't want to serve the directory listing of /static/updater/. Because static updater is a directory, not a file, try doing /static/updater/index.html or just /static/index.html and see if either are served. If they are not served, it may be an issue with your static files setup. If so, then I am not sure if it's just Django refusing to serve directory indexes within static folders or something else.
(This feels like it should be a comment, but I don't have enough rep to comment.)
Your STATICFILES_DIRS is empty - the dev server will serve from here.
You must edit your urls.py and add these lines to it then go to django.views.static.serve and change show_indexes argument to True.
Addition of urls.py:
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
#import this at top
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',{'document_root':"path\to\your\static\folder"}),
#add this to urlpatterns variable
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
#add this in last line of urls.py
Now you are finished and django shows indexes
if you want to change the html view of it you must follow instructions in django.views.static.serve and add your favourite html file to static/directory_index.html
In addition to henrikstroem's answer:
You should have a look at the official documentation on STATIC_ROOT and STATICFILES_DIRS.
Basically, STATIC_ROOT is the location where the collectstatic command will collect all the static files to, and STATICFILES_DIRS is the location (or are the locations) where that command will look for static files.
My development setup looks like this:
project_root
+ apps
+ project
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
wsgi.py
+ run
dev.sqlite3
+ media
+ static
+ static
+ templates
I point STATIC_ROOT to project_root/run/static and include project_root/static in STATICFILES_DIRS.
As you can see, I store my static assets in project_root/static and they get served.
During development (meaning: while using the runserver command), your static assets will be served directly from their location, in my case project_root/static. When deploying, you will collect your static assets to STATIC_ROOT.
This can be a folder in your project (as my project_root/run/static or even a directory in a totally other environment, you may even copy them over to a CDN [Content Delivery Network]).
Personally, I like deploying with Apache. I will setup one virtualenv to handle the Django parts. Static assets are served by another virtualenv which totally bypasses all dynamic handling and simply serves static files. You could even use another server, like nginx, for this task.
In shameless self-advertising, you can fetch my project skeleton here.
I am trying to load the static content for my Django which I have upgraded to Django 1.4
The project has been successfuly deployed , but I am unable to find the images and all the static content of the project.

To anwer your specific problem, i thing your STATICFILES_DIRS key is missing.
This appear to be your debug config file, so I suppose you want to serve your files with django built-in developement web server (ie: doing "manage.py runserver 8000")
1. DEBUG=True|False
You must know that django should not be used to serve files in production and will refuse to do so.
If you have "DEBUG=False", django will refuse to serve static files by default.
You have to use another server (most people use nginx, or an online cloud service, like cloudfront for this)
For this there is a 2 step process
1. You need to collect static files
2. Set up another server to serve them
When developping this is not convenient, so django look into STATICFILES_DIRS for you, and serve static files
2. Collecting files
A django website is made of multiple applications (see "INSTALLED_APPS" key in your config).
Each one of them may declare static files, all in different directories in your filesystem.
For your files to be properly served, you need them to be grouped in a single local directory, or a single remote server, hence the "./manage.py collectstatic".
This command will scan every directory listed in STATICFILES_DIRS and every "static" directory in loaded applications, and then copy files to the place you want with STATICFILES_STORAGE and STATIC_ROOT)
3. Config keys
# Tells django where your static files are
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../static/generated'),
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../static/fixed'),
)
# Only for developpement
# Tells to django build in web server where to host your files ("http://localhost/static")
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# for production, tell django how do {% static %} template tags and "./manage collectstatic" behave (collect files to a single directory, upload them to a CDN, etc)
#
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage'
# Only for production when using default value for STATICFILES_STORAGE
# Tell django where to collect files when you run "./manage.py collectstatic".
# This is only used if you host your static files in the same machine as the rest of your application
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/static.mydomain.com/'
Try to add STATICFILES_FINDERS and STATICFILES_STORAGE (for deployment) to your settings file.
This will make your life much easier in Django: you put a static folder in each of your apps for when you develop, and when you deploy, you run the collect_static command on your project and all the statics from all the apps will be gathered in the folder specified in the STATICFILES_STORAGE settings.
In the deployment environment, the STATICFILES_STORAGE should be served by the web server.

so i see the created thadb.db
in my project folder,
i have the error:
Exception Value:
unable to open database file
so I have $sudo chmod 777 thadb.db
but still get the same error,
is this because of the permission?
should i set the folder to 777?
EDIT>>
As per suggested solution, i tried chmod root for the db and the root folder
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root ubuntu 44032 2012-04-09 09:49 thadb.db
drwxrwxrwx 3 root ubuntu 4096 2012-04-09 12:44 micopiloto
Still not working! ;(
i get this error:
Exception Value:
unable to open database file
So how to make the admin show??
how will the security be affected?
thanks!
Here is an article that describes a solution to your problem:
http://www.pantz.org/software/sqlite/unabletoopendbsqliteerror.html
The solution is to make sure the directory containing the database file also has write access allowed to the process.
Also, Django has a page for this problem.
https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/NewbieMistakes#DjangosaysUnabletoOpenDatabaseFilewhenusingSQLite3
ok, after much grappling got it to worked, so if another noob haves this problem this is part of the solution[ with making the db file n folder for the db with the right permissions]
the problem was the path for my db on the settings.py
i gave the whole path and then it worked ;)
/home/ubuntu/djangoProj/micopiloto/
thanks!
https://stackoverflow.com/a/10071711/11124205
works for me. Try to let www-data write in database directory to let sqlite create the journal file.
Hello and thank you in advance.
I have django installed on Bluehost. Everything seems to be working, but the admin module isn't seeing the static files so the admin pages are not formatted.
I am a noob and I am not sure where to start troubleshooting, any help is appreciated. Please let e know what information would be helpful to supply.

Make sure following is included in your settings.py
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/static/admin/'
You'll probably need to set ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to a fully qualified url.
Like
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = 'http://yourdoman.com/static/admin/'
and make sure your server is serving the static files.
For anyone else who runs across this, bluehost does not allow the normal methods that you would use to direct requests for static resources on the admin page via mod_rewrite (detailed here). Specifically, Alias and Options +FollowSymLinks are disallowed.
The way we got this working was creating a static/ dir under public_html. We then copied all of the relevant Django css/img/js folder structures into that static folder, and used a simpler .htaccess file:
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(mysite.fcgi)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mysite.fcgi/$1 [L]
All I had to do was create a directory called static and copy over python/lib/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/* to there. Done.
I moved the site to WebFaction and it works.
I'm following the Django tutorial.
I've been trying to change the default template, but for some reason, changes in my admin/base_site.html do not reflect on the site, even though the path in settings.py is correct.

You forgot a comma after '/home/mhh91/django_test/polls/admin' and...
You need to add /home/mhh91/django_test/templates', to your template list, and move admin/base_site.html to /home/mhh91/django_test/templates/ as per the documentation:
In order to override one or more of them, first create an admin
directory in your project's templates directory. This can be any of
the directories you specified in TEMPLATE_DIRS.
My guess is that Django is looking for "admin/base_site.html" within the "/home/mhh91/django_test/polls/admin" directory - Therefore looking for "/home/mhh91/django_test/polls/admin/admin/base_site.html". Try removing the word "admin" from the template directory:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
