title: How to fetch static CSS files with django on IIS?
body: <p>I have django installed on IIS8. Now I want to configure it to serve static files. I have been following <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/static-files/deployment/" rel="noreferrer">this tutorial</a></p>
  
  <p>I have added this to <em>settings.py</em></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>STATIC_URL = '/static/'</p>
    
    <p>STATIC_ROOT = 'C:/my_django_project/NZtracker/static_for_production/'</p>
    
    <p>STATICFILES_DIRS = (
        'C:/my_django_project/NZtracker/static/', )</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and then run <em>collectstatic</em>.</p>
  
  <p>As a result, all the static folders have been moved to C:/my_django_project/NZtracker/static_for_production/.</p>
  
  <p>Next, I was trying to configure IIS to serve files from that folder but couldn't. (I have tried following <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11538607/what-are-the-problems-with-loading-css-and-js-from-django-to-iis7">this post</a>, but it also did not work)</p>
  
  <p>How can I fix it?
  Thanks</p>
