Re: Serving static files in production

@Prosper, 
I installed whitenoise at some point, but later removed its configuration.

Is whitenoise installed and added to MiddleWare?

Ensure that nginx is correctly configured, since from what you have provided the django configuration looks correct (although I generally use /static/ as STATIC_URL - with the leading / but should work as you have it). Check the nginx error log to try to discover the cause of the 404s. I suspect that the location blocks are defined in the wrong order or the directory pointing to the incorrect location.

In any case, whitenoise is not a bad solution tbh, and very flexible besides. I would solve the above - which should work - before investigating that further.

David

Hello everyone,
I am deploying a django project to a dedicated server.
I have set nginx to find static files in this file "staticfiles".

This is the setting in settings.py file:

STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'staticfiles'
STATIC_URL = 'static/'

After running collectstatic command, my project can't still load the static files.
Could I get a general way of going about this, without having to rely on a third party library like whitenoise?

My appreciation in advance.
