服务器上的Django静态文件404，尽管在本地工作

Question

I have deployed a django application on an apache server using WSGI but the static files give me 404 errors although everything worked fine on my PC using Django's development server.

My apache2.conf:

WSGIScriptAlias /app /srv/App/App/wsgi.py
WSGIPythonPath /srv/App

<Directory /srv/App/App>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>

settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/app/static/'

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

sample of how I call static files through my templates

{% load staticfiles %}
...
<link rel="stylesheet" href='{% static "css/main.css" %}'>

The only thing different than my local version of the app is that my STATIC_URL on settings.py doesn't include the '/app' part. According to Chrome's Developer Tools the URL of my static files is:

http://.../app/static/css/main.css

(using the static file of my template example) which I think should be right and can not understand the reason it's not working.

Answer 1

Didn't you forget to run this?

manage.py collectstatic

See the documentation .

Answer 2

This is an issue that comes too often. You have to:

• Specify STATIC_ROOT
• Run collectstatic
• STATICFILES_DIRS is not needed for live (handled by Apache).

Take a look at Django documentation: Managing static files

Answer 3

You don't have any Alias directives in Apache configuration telling Apache where your static files are and what URL you want them to appear under. See:
