Some confusion about static files (Python 3.6 Django 2.. IIS 8.5) My static files from site are found but the static files from the app are not found.
GET http://127.0.0.1:81/static/css/pyapp.css 404 (Not Found) <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/pyapp.css' %}">
I tried to add
STATICFILES_DIRS =[(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'pyapp/static')),]"<
to the settings.py but did not help.
Do I have to add a web.config also in the app static like in the site static folder?
├───pyapp │ ├───migrations │ │ └───__pycache__ │ ├───static │ │ └───css | │ │ └───pyapp.css <=== this is not found │ ├───templates │ │ └───pyapp | │ │ └───my.html <=== this works │ └───__pycache__ └───pyweb ├───static <=== this works │ └───admin │ ...... └───__pycache__
For IIS configuration i used this tutorial: http://blog.mattwoodward.com/2016/07/running-django-application-on-windows.html
settings.py

Answer
I found the Problem. Thx for help!
I don’t understand why IIS is not refreshing the VirtualDirectory. I refreshed x times the website and restarted it. But the pyapp folder in static was not visible until i set the physical path again.
sites ├───pyweb | └───pyapp | └───pyweb | └───static | | └───admin | | └───pyapp <=== this was not visible in IIS, refreshing not enough!
Is this a bug or should I know this?
