django.core.exceptions.SuspiciousFileOperation: The joined path (D:\img\favicon.ico) is located outside of the base path component (D:\test\static)

Question

I have facing this issue when i am trying to give favicon to my admin portal it was working completely fine till DEBUG was True. When I switch to DEBUG=False it start showing me this error which i mention in tittle.

here is my code :

templates/admin/base_site.html

{% extends "admin/base_site.html" %}

{% load static %}

{% block extrahead %}
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{% static '/img/favicon.ico' %}" />
{% endblock %}

settings.py

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
        os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
        ]


MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

In debug it worked smoothly now it shows me error 400 in browser and in terminal:

raise SuspiciousFileOperation( django.core.exceptions.SuspiciousFileOperation: The joined path (D:\img\favicon.ico) is located outside of the base path component (D:\Social_login\staticfiles)
