Django gives "GET /static/css/style.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
Question: ok so My

Index.html is

    
    
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>Kodeworms</title>
            <link rel="stylesheet"  href="{{ STATIC_URL }}css/style.css" />
        </head>
        <body class="logged-out">
        </body>
    </html>
    

style.css

    
    
    .logged-out {
        background-image: href=("{{ STATIC_URL }}img/landing.jpg") no-repeat center 30px;
        background-size: 90%;
    }
    

Now my index.html is stored in ***project_name/project_name/templates*** and
my style.css is stored in ***project_name/assets/css*** and the image is
stored in ***project_name/assets/img***

my setting.py is

What Should I do to get the image load in background from css ?


Answer: An HTTP 304 response means "I don't need to fetch it again, since it hasn't
changed since I got it last". So if that's the response code you got, you may
not have a problem at all. Or did you mean 404 (not found)?

In any event, you normally don't serve static files with Django directly; you
do it through your front-end server. On Heroku, they have a special app and
setup to help with that. You can read about it at:
<https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django-assets>.

Also: you accidentally posted your SECRET_KEY in your message here. Please
change that value to something else before you deploy or your site could have
a serious security vulnerability. Keep that secret key a secret.
