Ok, I've found a solution here <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32312590/how-to-fetch-static-css-files-with-django-on-iis> which allows the serving of static files from within the project file folder structure as gathered by collectstatic. I now see that the FastCGI Handler required for the project would interfere with the serving of static files.
Although marginally less convenient, I've also found that putting the static files in a folder outside of the project folder and pointing STATIC_ROOT to that folder is also an option i.e. \inetpub\wwwroot\projectfolder\ \inetpub\wwwroot\django-staticfiles\ STATIC_ROOT = 'C:/inetpub/wwwroot/DjangoProjects/static' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
