Django - Can't load static file (404 error)

I'm developing web with django framework.

So I have 3 folders in my static file like this.

*web
  *home
  *static
    *admin
    *scripts
    *styles
  *web
  *manage.py
  *db.sqlite3

and I have my setting file with this static setup

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

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static'),
)

But when I type python3 manage.py collectstaitc I get this result

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/Users/pwanhsu/django/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 349, in execute_from_command_line
    utility.execute()

    output = self.handle(*args, **options)
  File "/Users/pwanhsu/django/django/contrib/staticfiles/management/commands/collectstatic.py", line 176, in handle
    collected = self.collect()
  File "/Users/pwanhsu/django/django/contrib/staticfiles/management/commands/collectstatic.py", line 98, in collect
    for path, storage in finder.list(self.ignore_patterns):
  File "/Users/pwanhsu/django/django/contrib/staticfiles/finders.py", line 112, in list
    for path in utils.get_files(storage, ignore_patterns):
  File "/Users/pwanhsu/django/django/contrib/staticfiles/utils.py", line 28, in get_files
    directories, files = storage.listdir(location)
  File "/Users/pwanhsu/django/django/core/files/storage.py", line 286, in listdir
    for entry in os.listdir(path):
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/pwanhsu/Desktop/v_bridge/web/web/static'

I can successfuly collect static file if I remove the STATICFILES_DIRS like this

# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

0 static files copied to '/Users/pwanhsu/Desktop/v_bridge/web/static', 56 unmodified.

In my html file, I have these codes

{% load staticfiles %}

But the server return me an 404 error

[08/Sep/2016 03:36:45] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5831
[08/Sep/2016 03:36:45] "GET /static/scripts/bootstrap/css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1763
[08/Sep/2016 03:36:45] "GET /static/scripts/icons/social/stylesheets/social_foundicons.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1775
[08/Sep/2016 03:36:45] "GET /static/scripts/icons/general/stylesheets/general_foundicons.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1781

Anyone has idea about how to set up the static path or what I did wrong. Really confuse with it.

Your settings.py is in web/web/ directory. You static dir is in web/ directory. In this case set:

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'static))

STATICFILES_DIRS defines the additional locations the staticfiles. You don't need this settings.

STATIC_ROOT='static'
SITE_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
  os.path.join(SITE_ROOT ,'/static/'),
]

This is actually snippet from one of my projects.In the begining ,I have struggled with static files too.This should fix your problem.If you are still getting 404.Check the permissions on static files dir and static files

Try to use BASE_DIR in staticfiles_dir:

STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]

or

STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'web/static')]

Use STATICFILES_DIRS=('. /static',) or

STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static' ), )
