Root Cause

STATIC_ROOT is not configured when using collectstatic or serving static files in production.

generic

中文

在使用collectstatic或生产环境中提供静态文件时，STATIC_ROOT未配置。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Set STATIC_ROOT in settings.py 
    STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
  2. 90% success Run collectstatic after setting 
    python manage.py collectstatic

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Setting STATIC_ROOT to a non-existent path 80% fail

    Directory must exist or be created.

  2. Ignoring the setting and using STATICFILES_DIRS only 90% fail

    collectstatic requires STATIC_ROOT.
