Django. settings.py -> STATIC_ROOT/STATICFILES_DIRS

Have a problem with connecting css to my template. My project root is "D:/birzha/", static path is "D:/birzha/static/", css in

"D:/birzha/static/css/template.css".

What STATIC_ROOT or STATICFILES_DIRS should I use for correctly viewing css file? I tried so much turns, but nothing happens, css still off.

First of all you need to tell where all your static files will be "collected", place the following lines in settings.py:

BASE_DIR = (os.path.dirname(__file__))
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Then you need to make a static folder within your app and the hierarchy should be like this appname/static/appname/css.
Finally run the command python manage.py collectstatic and type yes on prompt. This will copy all of your static files within a folder that you specified in STATIC_ROOT

Now you can access your static files by giving the path like,/static/appname/css/mystyle.css

You can try this Site root will contain you project root path. You can change "/templates" with static

SITE_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))


# calculated paths for django and the site
# used as starting points for various other paths

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
   os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'templates/'),
)


MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'templates/media/')

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.
    os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'templates/'),
)
