body: <p>This is my directory structure</p>
  
  <pre><code>app_web

      wsgi.py

      models.py
      tests.py
      views.py
  db.sqlite3
  manage.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In <code>settings.py</code> , my
  <code>
  STATIC_URL = '/static/'
  </code></p>
  
  <p>and in my upload.html </p>
  
  <pre><code>{% load staticfiles %}
  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="{% static "js/alert.js" %}"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It does not works and throws 404 error everytime. I even tried <code>load static</code> but it still cannot load anything from static folder and throws 404 error.</p>
