Re: Django FastCGI and static files

you can collect your static files into 1 folder after deployment into server, and you can set it in base.py. then on webserver settings you can set only one static path.

OR

you can split  static files into many folder, but in your base.py setting you put all static path using STATICFILES_DIRS  then you SET STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT to your physical path on webserver settings.

STATIC_ROOT = os.getenv(

    'STATIC_ROOT', os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'collected_static'))

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Hope you understand it.

Hey

I'm new to serving Django website on a shared server as well as using fastcgi and .htaccess so this might be a basic question. Namely I'm having difficulties serving static content. I've tried playing with htaccess rules, but no luck yet. My project structure:

myproject/
├── myapp
│   ├── admin.py
│   ├── apps.py
│   ├── models.py
│   ├── static
│   │   └── myapp
│   │       ├── css
│   │       │   ├── bootstrap.min.css
│   │       │   ├── bootstrap.min.min_myproject.css
│   │       │   └── proj.css
│   │       ├── fonts
│   │       ├── images
│   │       │   ├── logo.png
│   │       └── scripts
│   │           ├── bootstrap.bundle.min.js
│   │           └── bootstrap.min.js
│   ├── templates
│   │   └── myapp
│   │       ├── base.html
│   │       ├── footer.html
│   │       ├── header.html
│   │       ├── index.html
│   ├── tests.py
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── views.py
├── manage.py
├── myproject
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── locale
│   ├── media
│   ├── settings
│   │   ├── base.py
│   │   ├── dev.py
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   ├── prod.py
│   ├── static
│   ├── templates
│   │   └── base.html
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── wsgi.py
├── requirements
└── test.py

My htaccess

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/static.*)$ /static//$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cgi-bin/mydjangapp.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]

If anybody can help me figure out how to solve it, would really appreciate.

Thanks!

Best

MJ
