Unable To Serve Static Files Correctly In Django App

I have installed in googlecloud VM (Ubuntu 16.04) a django application (1.8.19) with a static IP but when I access the page I am not able to load correctly all the static files (cs

Solution 1:

You haven't done anything to make the STATIC_URL variable available in the template, so it is being evaluated to an empty string.

There are various ways of doing this but perhaps the simplest would be to add django.template.context_processors.static to the context_processors list in your TEMPLATES setting.

Or you could call {% get_static_prefix as STATIC_URL %} at the top of your template.

Alternatively, don't use STATIC_URL at all but the {% static %} template tag:

<link href="{% static "lib/css/jquery.dataTables.css" %}?v={{ VERSION }}"  />

Solution 2:

If you think everything is true, add below code in settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

and then add below codes in urls.py

urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_ROOT, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
