django application static files not working in production

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

static files are not working in production even for the admin page.

I have not added any static files.

I am having issues with my admin page style.

I have followed the below tutorial to create the django application.

below is my settings.py

If you use nginx you need this in your config

server{
...
    location /static/ {
        alias /path/to/static/;
        ...
    }
...
}

For apache like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
...
Alias /static "/path/to/static/"  
<Directory "/path/to/static">  
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all 
Directory>
VirtualHost>
