I am trying to install a new template on my Mezzanine website. My Mezzanine is on version 4.2.2 and Django on 1.9.7 . Here is what I did:
With
DEBUG = true
I created a new app call "template_app" and loaded in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
"template_app",
...
)
I created the directory structure, and copied over the default mezzanine files (base, index...) like:
template_app
static
css
img
js
templates
base.html
index.html
includes
footer_scripts.html
I downloaded a bootstrap template and replaced the above css js img folder and index.html with the ones found in the template. (The template I used: https://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/business-casual/ ) Then link the css and javascript in base.html:
(All css)
{% compress css %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/bootstrap.css" %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/bootstrap.min.css" %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/business-casual.css" %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/mezzanine.css" %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/bootstrap-theme.css" %}">
(All js)
{% compress js %}
<script src="{% static "mezzanine/js/"|add:settings.JQUERY_FILENAME %}"></script>
<script src="{% static "js/bootstrap.js" %}"></script>
<script src="{% static "js/bootstrap.min.js" %}"></script>
<script src="{% static "js/jquery.js" %}"></script>
<script src="{% static "js/bootstrap-extras.js" %}"></script>
I'm not sure where I did wrong, or what I am missing. My website can't find the css and javascript file in the app:
Not Found: /css/bootstrap.min.css/
Not Found: /css/business-casual.css/
[07/Jan/2017 08:12:30] "GET /css/bootstrap.min.css/ HTTP/1.1" 404 1716
[07/Jan/2017 08:12:30] "GET /css/business-casual.css/ HTTP/1.1" 404 1720
Not Found: /js/jquery.js/
...
I tried modify urls.py and other parts of setting.py based on other's solutions, but they don't seems to be working. What am I doing wrong?

Checking with findstatic linked me to the right path. Except bootstrap.css which linked me both the css file in my downloaded template and the mezzanine template.
I had the same issue with static files, but it did require that I set the "STATIC_ROOT" setting since my paths were off course.
Since I was using a custom theme I had to change the "STATIC_ROOT" path in settings.py to point to my app static files rather than it pointing to the default PROJECT_ROOT.
So I added something like this...
And Changed "STATIC_ROOT" to...
