I just want to drop the favicon.ico in my staticfiles directory and then have it show up in my app.

How can I accomplish this?

I have placed the favicon.ico file in my staticfiles directory, but it doesn't show up and I see this in my log:

127.0.0.1 - - [21/Feb/2014 10:10:53] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 -

If I go to http://localhost:8000/static/favicon.ico, I can see the favicon.

If you have a base or header template that's included everywhere why not include the favicon there with basic HTML?

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{% static 'favicon.ico' %}"/>

One lightweight trick is to make a redirect in your urls.py file, e.g. add a view like so:

from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView

favicon_view = RedirectView.as_view(url='/static/favicon.ico', permanent=True)

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    re_path(r'^favicon\.ico$', favicon_view),
    ...
]

This works well as an easy trick for getting favicons working when you don't really have other static content to host.

In template file

{% load static %}

Then within <head> tag

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{%  static 'favicon.ico' %}">

This assumes that you have static files configured appropiately in settings.py.

Note: older versions of Django use load staticfiles, not load static.

Universal solution

You can get the favicon showing up in Django the same way you can do in any other framework: just use pure HTML.

Add the following code to the header of your HTML template.
Better, to your base HTML template if the favicon is the same across your application.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{% static 'favicon/favicon.png' %}"/>

The previous code assumes:

You have a folder named 'favicon' in your static folder
The favicon file has the name 'favicon.png'
You have properly set the setting variable STATIC_URL

You can find useful information about file format support and how to use favicons in this article of Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon.
I can recommend use .png for universal browser compatibility.

EDIT:
As posted in one comment,
"Don't forget to add {% load staticfiles %} in top of your template file!"

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{% static 'favicon/favicon.ico' %}"/>

Just add that in ur base file like first answer but ico extension and add it to the static folder

if you have permission then

Alias /favicon.ico /var/www/aktel/workspace1/PyBot/PyBot/static/favicon.ico

add alias to your virtual host. (in apache config file ) similarly for robots.txt

Alias /robots.txt /var/www/---your path ---/PyBot/robots.txt

The best solution is to override the Django base.html template. Make another base.html template under admin directory. Make an admin directory first if it does not exist. app/admin/base.html.

Add {% block extrahead %} to the overriding template.

{% extends 'admin/base.html' %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block javascripts %}
    {{ block.super }}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'app/js/action.js' %}"></script>

{% endblock %}

{% block extrahead %}
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{% static 'app/img/favicon.ico'  %}" />
{% endblock %}
{% block stylesheets %}

    {{ block.super }}
{% endblock %}

I tried the following settings in django 2.1.1

base.html

<head>
  {% load static %}
  <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{% static 'images/favicon.ico' %}"/>
</head>

settings.py

 STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
 STATIC_URL = '/static/'` <br>`.............

Best practices :

Contrary to what you may think, the favicon can be of any size and of any image type. Follow this link for details.

Not putting a link to your favicon can slow down the page load.

In a django project, suppose the path to your favicon is :

myapp/static/icons/favicon.png

in your django templates (preferably in the base template), add this line to head of the page :

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{%  static 'icons/favicon.png' %}">

Note :

We suppose, the static settings are well configured in settings.py.

In your settings.py add a root staticfiles directory:

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

Create /static/images/favicon.ico

Add the favicon to your template(base.html):

{% load static %}
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{% static 'images/favicon.ico' %}"/>

And create a url redirect in urls.py because browsers look for a favicon in /favicon.ico

from django.contrib.staticfiles.storage import staticfiles_storage
from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('favicon.ico', RedirectView.as_view(url=staticfiles_storage.url('img/favicon.ico')))
]
