Why gunicorn cannot find static files?
Question:
Running Django dev server has no problem: ‘python manage.py runserver 9000’
But if use gunicorn, it complains:
‘http://innovindex.com/pubmed/static/js/jquery-3.2.1.min.js ‘
Why gunicorn cannot find a local jquery but Django can?
The settings are:
settings.py (seems not related):
STATIC_URL = '/pubmed/static/'
in ‘/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/django’
location /static {
alias /home/django/innovindex/pubmed/static/;
}
And my app looks like this:
/home/django/innovindex
is where the ‘manage.py’ sits.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
Answers:
From Deploying static files in the Django documentation, you must run the collectstatic
command in addition to setting the STATIC_ROOT
setting.
First make sure that you’re STATIC_ROOT is set to the correct path that matches your nginx config:
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/django/innovindex/pubmed/static/'
Note that this is an absolute path.
Then run:
python manage.py collectstatic
in your project directory.
This will copy all of your static files into /home/django/innovindex/pubmed/static/
I spent a lot of time trying to figure this out until I found that the below must be in your main urls.py. Just add those two lines.
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
# ...
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
