404 or 500 error occurs when python django accesses static files

The content under the django static folder cannot be used and a 404 500 error appears

You need to check your settings file to ensure that there is the following content

import os
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(__file__)

DEBUG = True

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (

  os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static'),
)

STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
  'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
  'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
)

If the project is started using eclipse, the DEBUG value in the settings file of the django project must be equal to True before static files can be accessed? I don’t quite understand this point

If you need to deploy it to a web site, you need to configure static file mapping in apache

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName www.mydjangosite.com
   ServerAlias mydjangosite.com
   ServerAdmin fake@mydjangosite.com

   DocumentRoot /path/to/mydjangosite
   <Directory /path/to/mydjangosite>
       Options FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Order allow,deny
       allow from all
   </Directory>

   Alias /static/ /path/to/mydjangosite/static/
   <Directory /path/to/mydjangosite/static>
       Order allow,deny
       allow from all
   </Directory>

   # The following installs the Django WSGI app
   WSGIDaemonProcess www.mydjangosite.com processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
   WSGIProcessGroup www.mydjangosite.com
   WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mydjangosite/wsgi.py

</VirtualHost>
