I'm trying to push my Django project to Heroku, but it isn't loading the staticfiles. I used this to setup the things, everything is fine but I'm not able to fix the issue with static files. My directory structure is like this help_the_needy help_the_needy __init__.py settings.py urls.py views.py wsgi.py manage.py Procfile requirements.txt static css font-awesome fonts img js templates base.html display_list2.html index.html Here is the complete code (all files).

Using the django dev server (1.7.4), I want to add some headers to all the static files it serves. It looks like I can pass a custom view to django.conf.urls.static.static , like so: if settings.DEBUG: from django.conf.urls.static import static from common.views.static import serve urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT, view=serve) And common.views.static.serve looks like this: from django.views.static import serve as static_serve def serve(request, path, document_root=None,

I have my index.html in /static/ folder. My django app is running ok when i try: http://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html But i want to acces index.html by url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/ I wrote a view and it works: class IndexView(TemplateView): template_name = 'index.html' I also added to urls.py(this lets me serve static like http://127.0.0.1:8000/css/style.css ): url(r'^(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve', { 'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT, 'show_indexes':True }), But i think there is a way to do what i want without TemplateView. Any suggestions? Thanks. My django version

I have a template that renders an image: {% load staticfiles %} <img src="{% static "img/logo.png" %}" alt="My image"/> The image link is broken, but it points to: localhost/static/img/logo.png What are values I need to set for static_root, static_url, and STATICFILES_DIRS to get this image to show up correctly? This is my directory structure: myprojectname (top level) --- myprojectname --- --- myproectname --- --- --- settings --- --- --- --- base.py (setting.py) --- --- static --- --- --- img This is my static configuration in settings: STATIC_ROOT = '/Users/myuser/myprojectname
