I tried a lot for it to work but I am not able to figure out what's wrong.Please help!

Answer 1

it is because you haven't put any specified static root location that is the reason do one thing add this in your settings.py in the end and try again thats it
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_root')
