I deployed a django based app on WAMP server using mod_wsgi and to
serve all the static files I run the `py manage.py collectstatic`
command. I checked that the site is serving well but the static files
are serving only when DEBUG=True. But as per the Django's document
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/static-files/#configuring-static-files>
`DEBUG=True` will serve the static files on the development server for
other servers we should use `DEBUG=False`.
I also checked that all the static files got collected after
`collectstatic`
They will all be collected under a particular directory on the server
file system. Typically the last directory name on that path is ../static
although it could be anything you like.
When DEBUG is False Django assumes it does not need to server static
files because the web server itself is best placed to do that. Why
should Django do anything else other than execute your software? That
would be wasteful of resources. On the other hand, the webserver (Apache
or nginx) is designed specifically to serve static files.
manage.py collectstatic --settings=<project-settings.py> will gather all
your static files from directories with their roots (typically
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/' and os.path.join(BASE_DIR,
'<app-name>/static/')) listed in STATICFILES_DIRS and put them into a
tree of directories rooted at STATIC_ROOT as specified in settings.py
Your web server needs to be configured to serve static files.
Here is an Apache config static files snippet which serves static files
from the exact directory specified in STATIC_ROOT in settings.py. I have
configured mine to keep static files from all vhosts in a single root
separated by project name but away from the individual project roots.
# serve static stuff from here
<Directory /var/www/static/<project-name-here>/>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
I have not read your email beyond the line which says you are not
understanding so I apologise if I have led you astray.
