Problems linking to static files in Django 1.3

Question

I\'m running django 1.3, python 2.7 on windows XP

I\'m trying to setup a css in a static folder for my django app.

The template looks like:

Answer 1

I bet you have your app running at http://localhost:8000, not http://localhost :)

Change

STATIC_URL = 'http://localhost/static/'

to

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

No need for absolute URL there.

Answer 2

I created a folder:

C:\root\workspace\mysite\src\mysite\common

And in my settings, I have:

STATIC_ROOT = 'C:/root/workspace/mysite/src/mysite/static/'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    "C:/root/workspace/mysite/src/mysite/common/static",
)

This seems to work.
