Hi, Do *not* put your project into the webserver's document root. Doing so will likely expose secret data (your source code including the database password and SECRET_KEY).
Your STATIC_ROOT must be a location that your webserver serves under STATIC_URL. If you cannot configure your webserver to do this, you can use http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/. However, you will probably run into the same limitation when you want to serve user-uploaded files ("media"), and whitenoise cannot help you there. You will have to serve your media files from an external server, such as Amazon S3. I recommend deploying to an environment with WSGI support, btw. FCGI is not supported anymore: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/deployment/fastcgi/. If you do not want to setup your own server, PythonAnywhere and Heroku are popular choices.
