Django Admin CSS files are missing

Question

I deployed my django app to pythonanywhere.com and my admin css not working http://directdirect.pythonanywhere.com/admin/login/?next=/admin/ what do I do? I use django 2.0 settings.py:

 Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'django_direct/main_app/static'),
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'django_direct/main_app/static'),
    http://directdirect.pythonanywhere.com/static/admin/css/dashboard.css
]

Did you follow the steps indicated by the docs in howto/static-files in deployment — Ralf

Where is your setting STATIC_ROOT pointing to? Can you check your server if the files are where they are supposed to be? — Ralf

How have you configured your webserver to serve static files? — Ralf

Check your settings.py file.

DEBUG = True    # debug true mod working admin css
DEBUG = False   # debug false mod not working css

You can fix it using a proxy server or by running Django with the insecure parameter.

Use NGINX Proxy Server: django-with-nginx
Use Insecure Parameter: run-django-with-insecure-argument

I assume you followed similar instructions to this page from help.pythonanywhere.com.

There it says:

Go visit your site, it should be live! But it probably won't be using your CSS stylesheets, JavaScript and other things that are loaded from static files. To get those set up, check out the page configuring static files with Django.

And here is the link to get those static files up and running.

This should point you in the right direction.

This problem in python anywhere is occuring due to django admin templates deep in the sitepackages folder cannot reach the css files through its url because it is not yet existing here in pythonanywhere.

That's why you need to add:

another URL in the Static files: located inside the Web beside Console, Files, and Databases

put /static/admin/ in the value of URL and for the path, it depends on where your django admin static files are located. The common path is this one (if you're using a virtual envrionment) /home/<username>/.virtualenvs/<virtrualenvname>/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin

Refer example

You need to go higher, everybody is talking about collect static, that creates a bunch of redundant folders, but for me, this is the best solution :-)
