Comment:
No, you're misunderstanding. STATICFILES_DIRS allows you to add sources
for static files: this is where you keep your static files. In
development, staticfiles will automatically serve things from your
staticfiles sources (app static/ subdirs, and STATICFILES_DIRS).
STATIC_ROOT is completely unnecessary in local development. STATIC_ROOT
(and the collectstatic command) are only needed for deployment with a real
webserver. The collectstatic command copies (or symlinks) static files
from all sources into STATIC_ROOT, where you can configure your front-end
webserver to serve them.
Trac isn't a support resource, so if this still isn't clear to you, please
don't follow up here. Review the staticfiles docs (they've been
significantly updated in the last few days for clarity on these exact
points) and if it still isn't making sense ask in #django on IRC (I'm
usually there and would be glad to help) or on the django-users mailing
list.
