'about a day or so after my original post I discovered that static files
might be related to my problem.. getting the first reply that pointed me
in the same direction gave my hope that a solution was close.
unfortunately, nothing worked. Below I have the pertinent code.
hopefully, someone can spot something I'm doing that that is incorrect.
In my settings files, I have:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# My Apps
'contacts',
# Default django apps.
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
DEBUG = True
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
Here's my html code:
{% load static %}
<img src="{% static 'GAW.jpg' %}" alt="GAW.jpg">
my directory structure is:
project older
project folder (same name as higher folder)
application folder\
I created a static folder and put my image file in it. I put a copy of
this folder in all 3 folders in my directories.
I tried some variations on the html code.
put a forward slash before the image file name.
put two dots in front of the slash.
tried each of these with a slash after the image file name
ran all 4 of thee with and without quote marks around the image file
name.
all these variations got almost identical error messages...
[30/Jan/2020 10:42:13] "GET /static/GAW.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 1647
some of them ended in 1650 instead of 1647
I'm not getting the message any more
Not Found: /GAW.jpg
Can anyone see anything I'm doing wrong?
