Static Files - Page Not Found
django, django-staticfiles
Solution
By default, static and media files are not served with Django's builtin dev server. If you want it to serve those files directly, add `staticfiles_urlpatterns` and a `MEDIA_URL` pattern to your urlconf.
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
from django.conf.urls.static import static
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
This will only work if `DEBUG` is `True`.
For more information, refer to the corresponding docs.
Note: You should not do this in production! Always use a separate webserver for static files in production mode.
Problem
To see the static files (images and pdf), I defined `STATIC_DIRS` with the values containing directories' names where I upload those files: ``` STATICFILES_DIRS = ( '/home/alessandro/Scrivania/progetto/media/photos/custodia/', '/home/alessandro/Scrivania/progetto/media/definitiva/', '/home/alessandro/Scrivania/progetto/media/proforma/', '/home/alessandro/Scrivania/progetto/media/fpdf/'; ) ``` In STATIC_URL: ``` STATIC_URL = '/static/' ``` In Installed Apps: ``` INSTALLED_APPS = ( .... 'django.contrib.staticfiles', ) ``` The permissions are 0777. Now When I want to see the image or pdf files, I get this error message. Page not found I am using this URL: http://127.0.1:8000/home/alessandro/Scrivania/progetto/media/photos/custodia/powered_by.png Any Ideas? Why is this problem occuring?
