Error deploying Django, unable to configure static files

Question

I tried deploying Django project to www.pythonanywhere.com, My website ran but could not load static files.

I did collectstatic command in hosting server console but got error.

my project file configuration as follows

myproject # parent directory
-DjangoApp1 # an app inside project
-Myproject main file(includes manage.py etc)
-DjangoApp2 # an app inside project
-DjangoApp3 (in this app my static files located `DjangoApp3/static/DjangoApp3` )

in settings.py file

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "/static/")
STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/DjangoApp3/static/DjangoApp3/',)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

when I run collectstatic method in local machine ,below error occured

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\DjangoApp3\\static'

Just asking do you have STATIC_URL?

This works

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "/static/")
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles'),)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

I've covered the three in an answer here before

Try this:

STATIC_ROOT = 'staticfiles'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')),
)

take static folder one level up from DjangoApp3/

STATICFILES_DIRS should not be the same as STATIC_ROOT

Hisham___Pak Over a year ago

change STATIC_ROOT = 'static' to STATIC_ROOT = 'staticfiles'

STATIC_URL should stay the same, STATICFILES_DIRS is something else covered here
