Heroku & Django: "OSError: No such file or directory: '/app/{myappname}/static'"
It's looking for a folder named 'static' that's next to the settings.py, i.e. in the project folder, not at the root of the git repo.
git root/git root/{app name}git root/{app name}/settings.pygit root/{app name}/static/ <- this is what you're missingNote that empty folders aren't tracked by git, so you'll have to put a blank file in there if it's empty. Alternatively, remove the STATICFILES_DIRS setting until you need it.
I just had this same problem, and here's the solution that worked for me:
I changed:
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),)to:
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'myappfolder/static'),)
@joerick's answer above is the thing. However, if you do not want to place another 'static' folder (git root/{your app}/static), you might consider changing the BASE_DIR variable that is initially supplied by django-admin makeproject:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))which is just the (git root/) directory
