serve static and media files in django when debug=False

Question

I want to publish my django project but when is change my settings.py "debug = False" static files are not loaded ! here is my settings.py

MEDIA_URL = '/media_files/'
STATIC_URL = '/static_files/'

MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/domain/public_html/static_cdn/media_root'
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/domain/public_html/static_cdn/static_root'

also I used "python manage.py collectstatic" command and it created folder in public_html

Answer 1

i tried many ways but this is worked for me: for Media files Create a symlink of media folder to public_html in terminal:

$ ln -s ~/project_path/media/ public_html/media

for static files make symlink in terminal or just copy them to public_html folder.
