Hello again, I guess this is a very common question on new Api(s) with Django Rest Framework.
After spending 9 hours (just today the rest of the days do not count) I finally managed to fixed it. I followed the solution from here (django rest-framework : can't get static files <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27012204/django-rest-framework-cant-get-static-files?rq=1>) and I created in my settings this configurations: # Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images) # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/ PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static') STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATICFILES_DIRS = ( ("js", os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'js')), ("css", os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'css')), ("images", os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'images')), ("fonts", os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'fonts')), ) I also needed to create the directory under my STATIC_ROOT but this is easy after running the command: python manage.py collectstatic It will complain where the statics should be stored and if a directory does not exist it will mention it. I hope this will help someone else also in the future... :) BR / Thanos On Mon, Mar 5, 2018 at 12:55 PM, Athanasios Garyfalos <thanos....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I am new to Django Rest Framework and to REST in general. > > I followed the really nice REST-Tutorials > <http://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/1-serialization/> and I > managed to make an API that on my local host is working perfectly. > > My problem is when I am deploying it on the Heroku I get 404 error > regarding the Jana scripts css etc. > > I following the logs with (heroku logs --tail --app myApi) and I see the > following: > > 2018-03-05T11:38:18.629896+00:00 app[web.1]: - 10.104.55.179 - - > [05/Mar/2018:12:38:18 +0100] "GET /static/rest_framework/js/default.js > HTTP/1.1" 404 109 "https://myApi.herokuapp.com/"; "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux > x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 > Safari/537.36" > 2018-03-05T11:38:18.690858+00:00 app[web.1]: - 10.104.55.179 - - > [05/Mar/2018:12:38:18 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 85 " > https://myApi.herokuapp.com/"; "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) > AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36" > 2018-03-05T11:38:18.692141+00:00 heroku[router]: - at=info method=GET > path="/favicon.ico" host=myApi.herokuapp.com > request_id=ec4d4ed0-19a9-4785-84b5-452e90239bfb fwd="5.59.34.149" > dyno=web.1 connect=1ms service=3ms status=404 bytes=260 protocol=https > 2018-03-05T11:38:18.165004+00:00 heroku[router]: - at=info method=GET > path="/static/rest_framework/css/prettify.css" host=myApi.herokuapp.com > request_id=f9be6b23-eb9f-4efd-81e0-929772f0dac3 fwd="5.59.34.149" > dyno=web.1 connect=0ms service=2ms status=404 bytes=288 protocol=https > 2018-03-05T11:38:18.205046+00:00 heroku[router]: - at=info method=GET > path="/static/rest_framework/js/prettify-min.js" host=myApi.herokuapp.com > request_id=385a1ec6-8951-4ac1-845a-757c600fff70 fwd="5.59.34.149" > dyno=web.1 connect=1ms service=3ms status=404 bytes=290 protocol=https > > Sample of my tree structure: > > $ tree -L 2 myApi/ > myApi/ > ├── db.sqlite3 > ├── env > │ ├── bin > │ ├── include > │ ├── lib > │ ├── local > │ └── pip-selfcheck.json > ├── manage.py > ├── Pipfile > ├── Pipfile.lock > ├── Procfile > ├── Procfile~ > ├── README.md > ├── requirements.txt > ├── snippets > │ ├── admin.py > │ ├── admin.pyc > │ ├── apps.py > │ ├── apps.pyc > │ ├── __init__.py > │ ├── __init__.pyc > │ ├── migrations > │ ├── models.py > │ ├── models.pyc > │ ├── permissions.py > │ ├── permissions.pyc > │ ├── serializers.py > │ ├── serializers.pyc > │ ├── tests.py > │ ├── urls.py > │ ├── urls.pyc > │ ├── views.py > │ └── views.pyc > └── myApi > ├── __init__.py > ├── __init__.pyc > ├── settings.py > ├── settings.pyc > ├── static > ├── urls.py > ├── urls.pyc > ├── wsgi.py > └── wsgi.pyc > > 9 directories, 34 files > > I created my static file with the following command: > > python manage.py collectstatic source: Managing static files (e.g. > images, JavaScript, CSS) > <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/>. > > In my settings.py file I have: > > # All settings common to all environments > PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) > STATIC_URL = '/static/' > STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static') > > I guess this correct configuration or at least this is what I found on > line. > > I can see the files in my Git repo but I can not understand why they are > not populated on the Heroku. > > I guess this is a trivial question but if you do not have the knowledge on > the subject it can get very very difficult to find the solution. > > Does any one had this problem before? > > Thank you in advance for your time and effort reading and replying to my > question. > > If you require any further information do not hesitate to come in contact > with me. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the > Google Groups "Django REST framework" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit https://groups.google.com/d/ > topic/django-rest-framework/Ecuuz17VJGE/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > django-rest-framework+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django REST framework" group.
