django - Server error loading static files

Question

So im building my own django site. Right now im stuck with loading the statics. im getting the following error in the console:

 GET http://localhost:8000/static/         


        

Answer 1

Well, I had the same problem, and then I saw this error message:

"Your STATICFILES_DIRS setting is not a tuple or list; " django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Your STATICFILES_DIRS setting is not a tuple or list; perhaps you forgot a trailing comma?"

So, I converted the result of

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

To a list:

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

Hope this help somebody.
