Django collectstatic no such file or directory
try this:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')and leave this empty, since you are using STATIC_ROOT
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( # Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static". # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows. # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.)it should work this way.
Files in STATICFILES_DIRS need to have absolute path.Use normpath.
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'static')), normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'upload')),)Also it is good to set STATIC_ROOT to something like
STATIC_ROOT = normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'assets'))and STATIC_URL
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
So I was having similar problem and followed what fraggles had suggested, but I was getting this follow up error:
NameError: name 'normpath' is not definedMy work around was switching the '.dirname' keyword for '.normpath' keyword instead:
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(os.path.normpath(BASE_DIR), "static"))And it worked like magic. Hopefully this solution also helps someone.
