Django Serving Static Files not loading

Setting up a new django application with the following settings:

import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

DEBUG = True

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
)

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'kb/media')
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'kb/static/')

Setup a template 

{% load staticfiles %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>HomePage</title>
</head>
<body>
    <img src="{% static 'img/girl.png' %}">
    <img src="/media/boy-512.png">
</body>
</html>

I assume there's an issue with the settings of how it's supposed to get the static files. In this case the directory for the static image girl.png is kb\kb\static\img\girl.png

add your project name in settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'yourprojectname',]

If I can help you, this is my settings.py file and one example in my html template :

I have a project : MyProject and one application : my_project (inside I have static document > images documents > test.png file)

My settings.py file looks like :

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "my_project/static"),)

And my HTML template file with image looks like :

<img src="{% static 'images/test.png' %}" />

Hopfully to help you
