i did the same things but it says "STATICFILES_DIRS setting should not contain the STATIC_ROOT setting. "

i haven't done a deployment but keep reading

i did the same things but it says "STATICFILES_DIRS setting should not contain the STATIC_ROOT setting. "

Put your static folders insider the first one STATIC_ROOT is the folder where Django will put all static things after running collect static command

i tried everything.. :(

Have u already ran manage.py collectstatic ?

yep

i did the same what docs say

Have u checked if your STATIC_ROOT has all dirs after running collect static ?

In your urls.py , add static() if your settings.DEBUG is True

debug is False

i have already added static url

Yep but you need to serve with static() app only when debug is True

if settings.DEBUG is True: urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

if settings.DEBUG is True: urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

shold i add if debug is False?

Nope

removed, doesn't makes sense :(

When debug is False, Django will look for statics inside your static root When debug is True, it uses static app If u see default apps in your settings, you should see something like django.contrib.staticfiles

yes

So, put all your URLs in your urlpattern as usual Then if debug is True serve static with default static app otherwise Django will point to your static root

when i serve with debug= True

it shows css files, no problem

but when make it False, not works

Try to put the code I suggested you

I understood what you mean It's normal, when your debug is True Django uses its default static app

Try to put the code I suggested you

which one?

if settings.DEBUG is True: urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

This one

After your urlpatterns definition

my server has only postgresql and django. Is it needs apache?

my server has only postgresql and django. Is it needs apache?

no

Nope

apache is another world

Exactly

apache is your django for php xD

😂😂

i like to talk about what people should know

This one

but i will work only on DEBUG= True

but i will work only on DEBUG= True

Put the code I suggested you then try with DEBUG True and False and you will understand

Tell Django to use its default static app only for dev scenario , otherwise look for statics inside static root

Put the code I suggested you then try with DEBUG True and False and you will understand

tried, when i start with DEBUG = True, no problem when Debug = False, no css

but i will work only on DEBUG= True

Did you define STATIC_ROOT and run collectstatic?

yes

Ok, use pastebin to share your settings and urls.py

We could understand and read better

Bro do you mind taking a look at what I posted in other group? 🙏

Thanks 😀

Oh yeah, I was reading it this morning

https://paste.ofcode.org/QVKw5kR9TaFS5j9dAcvWYb settings https://paste.ofcode.org/Z34juWdqK56wmTadVjAGXS urls

Another thing to check is with your browser console, into the network section Read which url it shows in red for static files

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/base.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/login.css" />

Mmm are you sure this is from network section ? And not element one ?

If I'm not going wrong, try to right click on one of them and go to new tab You should see the exact uri

Try to run nginx -t without specifying conf file

i think i linked it wrong, look at this tutorial

https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html

it says to create mysite_nginx.conf in /etc/nginx/sites-available, then says to link it from path/to /mysite (which would be /home/mendel/django_server)

so now i linked from sites-available to sites-enabled, and now gives this error: mendel@bootanmts-server:/etc/nginx/sites-available$ sudo nginx -t nginx: [emerg] open() "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/django_server_nginx.conf" failed (40: Too many levels of symbolic links) in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:62 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

If I'm not going wrong, try to right click on one of them and go to new tab You should see the exact uri

http://ip1:8000/static/admin/css/base.css

am i need uwsgi or nginx?

ok @iFlare3G , i linked now correctly and now it doesn't give errors, tho media serving still doesn't work

same process as static, specify media_root directory and link to nginx just as you did with static_root

ok @iFlare3G , i linked now correctly and now it doesn't give errors, tho media serving still doesn't work

now that works too! thanks for the nginx -t tip!

Yw 😀

am i need uwsgi or nginx?

Nope, Django is enough I think there's something stupid we cannot see 😓

# server unix:///path/to/your/mysite/mysite.sock; do i need to put unix:///? or just one slash?

If I well remember, there are 3 But it's Sunday and my memory could be bad 😂 check docs to be sure

Set view permissions

I need to have a simple search form of just one field which uses autocomplete, creating this is not a problem, but I want to have this form in the sidebar menu which is located in my base template, so the form should be in all of my templates. The thing is, I don’t know which approach to follow, some idea would be creating a Mixin that adds the form in all my views context or maybe a template tag, any suggestion of which approach to follow or any better approach I’ve not thought with?

how about set the form's action attribute ? <form action="{% url 'your_search_url' %}" method="post"> {{ your_search_form }} </form>

Yeah, but {{ your_search_form }} should be passed into all views context

That’s why was considering the Mixin option

Maybe a good choice would be a custom context processor

check on official docs , you can find all you need

i did the same things but it says "STATICFILES_DIRS setting should not contain the STATIC_ROOT setting. "

Comment out STATIC_ROOT

Comment out STATIC_ROOT

gives error when do like that

Your settings should have both static URL and static root

During development, collectstatic

On deployment, comment out static root

Debug True

Allowed host '*'
