How To Serve Django Static Files On Heroku With Gunicorn

I have an app in Django, I deployed it on heroku but I am unable to serve static files on the server and below are my code and settings: settings.py DEBUG = True TEMPLATE_DEBUG = D

Solution 1:

While deploying your app first change DEBUG=FALSE in your setting file.

Solution 2:

To serve static files I highly recommend you to use whitenoise http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/django.html

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'staticfiles')
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
  # 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware','whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',
  # ...
]

No need to run collectstatic as heroku will do that for you. What that does is puts all the files into the STATIC_ROOT for you (all compressed and with a hashed file name for long expires).
