Django 3.0.7 无法更改 STATIC_ROOT 路径

Question

Hi I am new to django,

I have created a django project with following urls.py and settings.py codes respectively

urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
 path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
 path('',include("user_mgmt.urls")),
 path('',include("dashboard.urls")),
 ]  

if settings.DEBUG:
 urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

settings.py

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR),"spaat_static")

then I am collecting the static files using:

python manage.py collectstatic

but Django is collecting files in the ../staticfiles directory, whereas I have defined ../spaat_static in STATIC_ROOT.

How to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

THIS LINE:

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR),"spaat_static")

Try to change it to:

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"spaat_static")

And tell me how it goes. Peace.

Don't forget to add this:)

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"spaat_static"),
]
