title: Receiving the 404 error in getting of static django files
body: <p>Please help to understand what I do wrong.</p>
  
  <p>I have in my settings.py :</p>
  
  <pre><code>PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
  STATIC_URL = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static').replace('\\','')+'/'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And in index.html :</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% load static %}
  &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static "/css/table.css" %}"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I still have the error 404 :</p>
  
  <pre><code>"GET /var/cardsite/cardsite/static/css/table.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1696
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have this file :</p>
  
  <pre><code>ls -la /var/cardsite/cardsite/static/css/table.css
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77 Sep 25 16:15 /var/cardsite/cardsite/static/css/table.css
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So what is going on?</p>
  
  <p>P.S. My project stored on "/var/cardsite" and I want to make static folder on each application, like in example is default application "cardsite"</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
