Googling that error brings up a few results. It seems to indicate a
problem with STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL when DEBUG is true and/or
misconfiguration of Nginx when DEBUG is false.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/static-files/#deployment

Running collectstatic drops all your static files into the STATIC_ROOT
directory on the server and that is where Nginx has to find them. The
way it works is that when a user requests a static file in a URL, Nginx
has to recognise the URL prefix to the static file named. The Nginx
config you need is to make the recognised URL prefix point to a real
location on the server (ie where collectstatic previously put the static
files)
