While I'm working with "Tango with Django" I am using Django 1.8 and
Python 3.4 (debian linux).
My project tree (somewhat truncated) is in the /root directory and looks
as follows:
tango
├── bin
├── include
├── lib
└── tango
├── db.sqlite3
├── __init__.py
├── manage.py
├── rango
├── requirements.txt
├── static
│ ├── images
│ └── __init__.py
├── tango
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── __init__.pyc
│ ├── __pycache__
│ ├── settings.py
│ ├── settings.pyc
│ ├── urls.py
│ └── wsgi.py
├── tango.nja
└── templates
├── __init__.py
└── rango
The pertinent parts of the settings.py file are:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
STATIC_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
STATIC_PATH,
)
The rango index.html file is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load static from staticfiles %}
<html>
<head>
<title>Rango</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Rango says...</h1>
hello world! <strong>{{ boldmessage }}</strong><br />
<a href="/rengo/about">About</a><br />
<img src="{% static "images/apache2.png" %}" alt="Picture of
Apache logo"/>
</body>
</html>
The apache2.png is just a handy image file.
The result of 127.0.0.1:8000/rango/ is:
Rango says...
hello world! I am bold font from the context
About
Picture of Apache logo
I've tried everything I can think of to try to get the image served and
have totally failed. The firefox debugger just says "failed to load the
given URL"
What am I doing wrong.
