Settings

STATIC_ROOT

Default:'' (Empty string)

The absolute path to the directory that holds static files like app media:

STATIC_ROOT = "/home/polls.com/polls/site_media/static/"

This is only used by the default static files storage (i.e. if you use a different STATICFILES_STORAGE, you don’t need to set this).

STATIC_URL

Default:'' (Empty string)

URL that handles the files served from STATIC_ROOT, e.g.:

STATIC_URL = '/site_media/static/'

Note that this should always have a trailing slash.

STATICFILES_DIRS

Default:[]

This setting defines the additional locations the staticfiles app will traverse when looking for media files, e.g. if you use the build_static or resolve_static management command or use the static file serving view.

It should be defined as a sequence of (prefix, path) tuples, e.g.:

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    ('', '/home/special.polls.com/polls/media'),
    ('', '/home/polls.com/polls/media'),
    ('common', '/opt/webfiles/common'),
)

STATICFILES_PREPEND_LABEL_APPS

Default:('django.contrib.admin',)

A sequence of app paths that should be prefixed with the label name. For example, django.contrib.admin media files should be served from admin/[js,css,images] rather than the media files getting served directly from the static root.

STATICFILES_MEDIA_DIRNAMES

Default:('media',)

A sequence of directory names to be used when searching for media files in installed apps, e.g. if an app has its media files in <app>/static use:

STATICFILES_MEDIA_DIRNAMES = (
    'media',
    'static',
)

STATICFILES_EXCLUDED_APPS

Default:[]

A sequence of app paths that should be ignored when searching for media files:

STATICFILES_EXCLUDED_APPS = (
    'annoying.app',
    'old.company.app',
)

STATICFILES_STORAGE

Default:'staticfiles.storage.StaticFileStorage'

The storage to use for copying static files to a single location.

STATICFILES_RESOLVERS

Default:('staticfiles.resolvers.FileSystemResolver', 'staticfiles.resolvers.AppDirectoriesResolver', 'staticfiles.resolvers.LocalStorageResolver')

The list of resolver classes that know how to find static files in various locations.

If you know you only keep your files in one of those locations, just omit the unnecessary resolvers.
