Django app not loading css and images

luke

@sean Hi
Please can you assist why our Django app is not able to load css and images when everything is set up correctly :

STATIC_ROOT = '/home/gbbwebmaster/apps/ibp_static/'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

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

Ran python manage.py collectstatic and restart server but tsill not loading css .

Please help

Hello, have you already configured the symbolic links for media and static dir? luke

sean

wil Symlinks for media and static dir aren't needed. It's much easier to specify a single static app directory, let collectstatic put everything in it, and serve it all on /static:
