I'm using Django==1.5.5 and My django app is structured as
--project/
----project/
------settings.py
------urls.py
----app1/
------models.py
------views.py
----staticfiles/
------style.css
----static/
------admin/
--------js/
--------css/
------style.css
----templates/
------header.html
------post.html
------footer.html
----manage.py
the /project/settings.py is
import os
DEBUG = False
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..')
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost', '127.0.0.1']
MEDIA_ROOT = ''
MEDIA_URL = ''
SITE_ROOT = PROJECT_ROOT
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'staticfiles'),
)
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'templates'),
)
in header.html i trying use it as:
<head>
<title>My Site</title>
{% load static from staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'style.css' %}">
</head>
But its not loading mysite.com/static/style.css and giving error 404
I ran python manage.py collectstatic to collect all static file.
Why its loading css file? any configuration missing?
Please suggest.

I had the same problem and none of the answers I found worked. It turns out that there are a few parts that must be set up correctly for static files to work. Note: I'm using django 1.6 and this solution is for development not deployment.
Setting up static file dirs
django-admin.py startproject $site_name
mkdir $site_name/static
mkdir $site_name/static/css
mkdir $site_name/static/javascript
mkdir $site_name/static/images
your folder should look like this
$site_name/
manage.py
$site_name/
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
wsgi.py
static/
css/
javascript
images/
edit the $site_name/$site_name/setting.py file and add
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS =( os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'css/'),
os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'javascript/'),
os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'images/')
)
edit $site_name/$site_name/urls.py and add
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
using static urls
{% load staticfiles %}
<a href="{% static "banner.png" %}">
