[Do you include the static urls when `settings.DEBUG` is True?](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/howto/static-files/#serving-static-files-during-development)

I’m curious if it matters if you’re using `from drf.settings import STATIC_ROOT` vs `from django.conf import settings`.
Please list all the [static file settings](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/settings/#settings-staticfiles) values that you have configured. And are you running this in with `DEBUG = True`?

No,DEBUG=False,
`from drf.settings import STATIC_ROOT` and `from django.conf import settings` the effect is the same

If you’re running this locally, you’re running it with `DEBUG=False` which won’t enable the static files urls.
If you’re running this on production, then you need to find another way to server your static files see the [docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/static-files/deployment/) or you can use the [whitenoise](http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/django.html) library.
