Why are static files not found?

Question

Django

The browser cannot find static files at 127.0.0.1:8000/static/css/style.css.
Here's how I connected

{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}"><img src="https://habrastorage.org/webt/5a/ec/a2/5aeca2e6de8e6594465263.png" alt="image"/>

Here is the folder hierarchy

Answer 1

It turned out like this: if you create a static folder outside the application, but globally, then you need to write the following in settings.py

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
    '/var/www/static/',
]
