HTML image not found django

I know that there are a lot of questions with this error but I am trying all of the tips and I am not having success yet.

I installed django and I want to introduce two images in my web map. I try everything and the images are not found yet.

I have a folder static inside my project and inside static I have a folder images with the images. I also tested with the folder images outside the static folder.

In my settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'gic\static')]

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'images')
MEDIA_URL = '/images/'

and in index.html file

{% load static %}
<img src="{% static "coalmine_logo.png" %}" alt="Cinque Terre" width=350 height=120/>

and an error appears:

GET http://localhost:8000/static/coalmine_logo.png 404 (Not Found)

Since you images are within a subfolder of your static folder you need to add that folder name to the path. In your template it should look like this:

{% static 'images/coalmine_logo.png' %}

Edit: The reason this wasn't working for the poster was because they had their static files they were trying to access in the directory that was specified in STATIC_ROOT in their settings file. In development django does not look in the STATIC_ROOT directory for statics files, it looks in the directories listed in the STATICFILES_DIRS variable. This was fixed for the poster by moving their files into the directory that matched their line os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'gic\static')
