from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns

445 PointsThanks Chris. I did do the import. It is the issue with the spaces. But i have another problem in accessing the images,CSS and js files.
I had updated the settings.py as
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR ,'assets'),
)
Actual path for images is c:\gt\assets\images
Actual path for js is c:\gt\assets\js
when access the http://127.0.0.1:8000, the image and JS path is showing as http://127.0.0.1/home/css/bootstrap.min.css Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://127.0.0.1:8000/images/home/logo1.png Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (NOT FOUND)
Which are wrong.

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 PointsWhat is the Django template line used to reference these assets?
Have you tried entering the URL directly into the browser? Try: http://127.0.0.1/static/images/logo1.png
, etc.
