Answer 1

You have STATIC_ROOT in STATICFILES_DIRS ! That's incorrect.

Not sure if your issue is related to that, but it definitively show a lack of understanding of django staticfiles management.

Maybe after reading this article you'll understand it fully and be able to set it up right.

And you don't need this with DEBUG=True:

urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^static/(?P.*)$',
'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),
)
