Deploy Django with DEBUG = False

Using Django
1

Hello
My application works pretty well with DEBUG = True.

and when I change the DEBUG to False only pages and data from SQLite works.

no files, images, and styles works.
for example the excel file:

tddd
tddd735×294 35.5 KB

Is this the same issue as what you’re describing here? (Deploy Django with Apache and mod_wsgi) If so, there’s no need to open up new conversations for it. Further discussion can continue there.

it is not the same, the other were about Apache and it finished by this.
I’d answered and found the solution of the Apache issue and this is another issue.
All my best

Ok, so then to address this, we’ll need to see your settings.py file for this application, along with whatever server configuration components being used. (Is this also Apache?)

Note: Having DEBUG=True changes many things within Django regarding file handling - getting different results with changing DEBUG=True to DEBUG=False is expected.

It may help for you to review the docs on:

it is not with Apache just I run it python manage.py runserver

and this is my settings.py:

See the --insecure parameter of the runserver command and Serving files uploaded by a user during development - particularly the green note at the bottom of that section.

I solved a half of the issue and I can download the files by adding this code in urls.py

from django.views.static import serve
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, }),
    ...
    ]

but the styling still doesn’t work correctly!
