Re: django1.8 collectstatic permission denied

STATIC_ROOT should be the absolute path to the directory static files should be collected to. Example: "/var/www/example.com/static/"

It looks like you set it to "/static" which probably doesn't exist (or at least your user doesn't have write privileges to it).

(hackernews)junkuos@ hackernews$ ./manage.py collectstatic

You have requested to collect static files at the destination

location as specified in your settings:

    /static

This will overwrite existing files!

Are you sure you want to do this?

Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes
