[Fixed]-Default django project not showing django templates

You don’t need one unless you want to change the default styles.
Your static resources for admin interface located in your django installation folder (site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin).

It will be automatically be used by django framework unless you’ve done some extra settings that ruined default behaviour.

check for the following items in your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  ...
  'django.contrib.staticfiles',
 ...
)

...
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
...

If you want to add some extra static folder/files:

# define global static
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)

You can also have in each app a static folder like this

your_project_folder/your_app_folder/static/your_app_name/[static_resources]

If you’re on production server and not development consider also adding a proper STATIC_ROOT like this

STATIC_ROOT = "/var/www/example.com/static/"

in your setting file or production server specific settings location.

At last check for django docs for specific version that you’re using
mine in 1.8

Try to setup your STATIC_ROOT and your STATIC_URL.

After that run:

python manage.py collectstatic
