Manage.py collectstatic command not found, Django 1.5.1

Question

I am very new to python and when I run

$ python manage.py collectstatic

he returns

'Unknown command:' collectstatic ''

From what I found from the study, there seems to be a problem with settings.py, here is my settings.py:

 import os DEBUG = True TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG ADMINS = ( # ('', ' [e-mail] '), ) MANAGERS = ADMINS DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', 'NAME': 'basic_code.sqlite3', # The following settings are not used with sqlite3: 'USER': '', 'PASSWORD': '', 'HOST': '', # Empty for localhost through domain sockets or '127.0.0.1' for localhost through TCP. 'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. } } ALLOWED_HOSTS = [] TIME_ZONE = 'America/Chicago' LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us' SITE_ID = 1 USE_I18N = True USE_L10N = True USE_TZ = True MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'static/media') MEDIA_URL = '/media' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'static/static-only') STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'static/static'), ) STATICFILES_FINDERS = ( 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder', 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder', # 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder', ) # Make this unique, and don't share it with anybody. SECRET_KEY = 'XXXXXXXXXX' # List of callables that know how to import templates from various sources. TEMPLATE_LOADERS = ( 'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader', 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader', # 'django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader', ) MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', # Uncomment the next line for simple clickjacking protection: # 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', ) ROOT_URLCONF = 'basic_code.urls' WSGI_APPLICATION = 'basic_code.wsgi.application' TEMPLATE_DIRS = ( os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'static/templates'), ) INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.admindocs', 'contact', ) LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': False, 'filters': { 'require_debug_false': { '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse' } }, 'handlers': { 'mail_admins': { 'level': 'ERROR', 'filters': ['require_debug_false'], 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler' } }, 'loggers': { 'django.request': { 'handlers': ['mail_admins'], 'level': 'ERROR', 'propagate': True, }, } } 

Thank you very much! I really appreciate any help.

Change the media url from / media to / media /

Next time, if you encounter such a problem, try starting the server and checking the trace if it does not work.
