Deploy Static files

Using Django Deployment
1

Hi, I am new to django and my original lenguage isn’t english.

I am using django 4.2.10 in debian 11 with apache 2.4 and mod-wsgi.

As my development process before django had been I have my entire application under apache root in a subdirectory example.com/seguridad (except SECRET_KEY).

This is my django.conf in apache

Alias static/ /home/tierra/Arbol_de_Vida/2_Para_Conocerme_como_Soy/Creatividad_en/.django/static/

<Directory /home/tierra/Arbol_de_Vida/2_Para_Conocerme_como_Soy/Creatividad_en/.django/static>
    Require all granted
</Directory>

WSGIDaemonProcess example.com python-home=/home/tierra/Arbol_de_Vida/2_Para_Conocerme_como_Soy/Creatividad_en/seguridad/virtual python-path=/home/tierra/Arbol_de_Vida/2_Para_Conocerme_como_Soy/Creatividad_en/seguridad/data
WSGIProcessGroup example.com
WSGIScriptAlias /seguridad /home/tierra/Arbol_de_Vida/2_Para_Conocerme_como_Soy/Creatividad_en/seguridad/data/data/wsgi.py process-group=example.com

Besides the django application static files everything else work fine in example.com and example.com/seguridad

This is in my settings.py

DEBUG = False

STATIC_URL = 'static/'

STATIC_ROOT = "/home/tierra/Arbol_de_Vida/2_Para_Conocerme_como_Soy/Creatividad_en/.django/static/"

I copied static files with python manage.py collectstatic to STATIC_ROOT and it has read permissions to apache, but browser console say: 404 not found in http://192.168.1.73/seguridad/static/images/prioridades.jpg (I even change STATIC_ROOT to /home/tierra/Arbol_de_Vida/2_Para_Conocerme_como_Soy/Creatividad_en/seguridad/static/ just to make sure but with same result).

I think I used everything in docs about managing and deploying static files and searched the web but seems that every case is very particular. What I am missing? Thanks in advance.

Thinking that the problem may be having the django app inside the apache root directory I took it out redoing all steps, to the same situation with static files.

So far besides that I have other two odd problems with django:

  • Can’t write to database from form, database read only. If I change permissions of proyect folder and database file to www-data it works but the I can’t migrate models from normal user with python3 manage.py migrate.
  • I have a class-based view that can only be accessed with is_staff permission redirecting to login_url, which don’t respect the subdirectory the aplication is in. The url for login is created automatically at example.com/seguridad/accounts/login/ but the view redirects to example.com/accounts/login/. I can overcome this setting LOGIN_URL = 'seguridad/accounts/login' but I don’t know why this happens.

Anyway if I must choose the static files problem is the most important, thank you.

Briefly reviewing the two key settings:

STATIC_ROOT = The location where static files are going to be copied using the collectstatic command.

The user running collectstatic must have “write” permissions to that directory, including the ability to create subdirectories.

The web server must have “read” permissions to this entire directory tree.

In the common case, this directory should be outside your project directory. It’s actually quite common to define this within /var/www/ or even /var/www/html/ on Unix-style systems.

STATIC_URL = The base URL for creating references to static files. This setting has no meaning with Django, other than for creating URLs being referenced within the static tag used in templates.

This is the URL path that you will associate with STATIC_ROOT in your web server configuration.

For example, if you have:
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/html/project1'
and
STATIC_URL='/static/'

Then your web server needs to be configured such that the location /static causes the web server to retrieve files from /var/www/html/project1

The most common issues I see with handling static files include:

  • Using a STATIC_ROOT inside the project directory
  • Not assigning proper permissions to the STATIC_ROOT directory.
  • Not having the web server configured to map STATIC_URL to STATIC_ROOT
  • Not running collectstatic

Hi thanks for answering.
I had set STATIC_ROOT in setting.py to a folder inside the apache example.com root directory where all my other website files that are working well are, with the same read permission.
I ran collectstatic and the files where copied there succesfully.

How can I map STATIC_URL to STATIC_ROOT in the server? I tought it was adding Alias /static/ /path/to/STATIC_ROOT with its correspondent directory Require all granted in my django.conf where WSGIScriptAlias is but it didn’t work for me.

Look at your Apache error log. Find the requests for the static files.

Yes, your alias directive looks correct. (However, I still maintain that it’s not the best idea to have it referencing a directory in your /home directory.)

Note: The Apache web server does not read your project files, nor does it have any need to. It’s the mod_wsgi process that runs the Python interpreter, and it’s that process that reads your code. You really don’t want Apache to have access to your project.

When I set up the server I didn’t want to keep updating the files in the website directory as they change very frecuently, so I pointed the server directory to where the files actually are. Now I know I can make a script to automate updating. There is a reason it should be in /var/www?

The apache error.log say: Not Found: /seguridad/static/images/prioridades.jpg so it is searching in a different path that the one set Alias /static/ in the django.conf. Even if I put the files in that path (/seguridad/static/… in website root directory) it gives same result.

My main website (one that don’t use django) is in the website root folder aka example.com so I set up django to work in a subdirectory as specified in the docs (example.com/seguridad) so maybe it has something to do with that?

As a note I have seen that the first trailing slash matter: seguridad/ and /seguridad/ (for some reason I solved the problem with the login_url setting it to /seguridad/accounts/login instead of seguridad/accounts/login) so I tried WSGIScriptAlias /seguridad /... and WSGIScriptAlias /seguridad/ /... but django app stopped working. The docs example use Alias /static/ instead of Alias static/ but I tried both to no avail. I think it has something to do about the [server - mod wsgi - django] configuration but I don’t know what. Thanks for your time.

One last thing I can think of is that I installed libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 from debian repositories version 4.7.1.

Actually, no - static file issues have nothing to do with your wsgi process. That’s the purpose of doing all this.

You want apache to handle the static files itself. Django should have no part in handling static files in your production environment.

This leads me to believe that either:

  • You have another alias in your configs that is overriding this
  • You have a symlink somewhere in the path you’re describing

That’s the purpose of it. Doing this should not be a concern.

It’s the common, standard, and conventional place for static files. By default, the apache process is given all the necessary permissions to it.

I set STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/static', run collecstatic, confirm files existence and set www-data permissions to everything (where root), change Alias /static/ to that path with directory Require all granted. Reloaded apache. Same situation. I searched for another static Alias but found nothing, I am using Let’s Encrypt HTTPS so I don’t know if that has something to do.

I am reading https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#serving-the-admin-files and there is an option to

Create a symbolic link to the admin static files from within your document root (this may require +FollowSymLinks in your Apache configuration).

Probably that would work. I am going to try when I really need those static files, right now I wanted css files to style templates so I worked around including style tags. Thank you.

If you’re looking for assistance with this, please remember to post the information that is going to help us help you diagnose this.

In this case, please post the actual entry section in your apache conf file, along with the full error messages from the apache error log.

It would also be helpful to see the output of an ls -l command for /var/www and /var/www/static

If you look at the rendered page in the browser, are you seeing references to

in the HTML? If so, then this is apparently being caused by:

being passed through to Django, and causing this to be prepended to the static tags being rendered. (See the note in STATIC_URL)

So what you want to do is change your alias to be:
Alias /seguridad/static/ /var/www/static/

Wow that fixed it. Thank you! I would try to check docs to values I am using.

I think it would prevent others same difficulty to add a note here about

If you want to serve your project in a subdirectory (https://example.com/mysite in this example), you can add WSGIScriptAlias…

that come in previous section.
Thanks again.

Deployment is one of those topics that is really tough to cover in the docs, because of the number of options and combinations available.

For example, for web servers you have options including Apache, nginx, Lightspeed, and Caddy. For WSGI containers, you have (at least) gunicorn, CherryPy and uWSGI. For ASGI containers, you have uvicorn and Daphne.

Every one of these can have different ways of configuring them to provide for multi-project isolation. And since all of these are external to Django, it could be labor-intensive to keep them all up-to-date. (It’s not so much that they change all-that-often, but someone would need to verify that the information remains valid.)

<opinion>
For example, our standard stack is nginx, uWSGI (with some instances of gunicorn), and Daphne for websockets. (I haven’t deployed to Apache in more than 10 years now. I’d be quite happy if the Apache docs were replaced with references to nginx - but with the recent acquisition of nginx by F5, I’m not sure that’s the best option either.)

So where I guess I’m landing on this is that the docs only provide a starting point, and if you want to change what is identified as the most basic solution, you’ll need to understand what you’re doing in that environment. Anything else really goes beyond being a “Django” topic.
