在Heroku上使用django从dj-static切换到Amazon CDN

Question

I have been developing a django site on Heroku and using dj-static in my wsgi.py. I am now about to move my site static files onto Amazon. Do I need to now remove the references to dj-static from my wsgi.py file? I'm concerned about the following lines of code. What would be the correct thing to do? Do they need to go? If so, what do I put in their place?:

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from dj_static import Cling

application = Cling(get_wsgi_application())

Thanks,

Euan

If you are serving files using django-storages you don't need to use dj-static anymore. dj-static is only used when you want to serve the static files using a WSGI server like gunicorn . In your case you are using Amazon's servers.

To answer your question, you can revert to the default wsgi.py file which looks something like this:

import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "myproject.settings")

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

You can also remove dj-static from your virtualenv and from requirements.txt
