Review the docs at:

- [How to deploy Django | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/howto/deployment/)
- [How to deploy static files | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/howto/static-files/deployment/)
- [How to manage static files (e.g. images, JavaScript, CSS) | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/howto/static-files/).

Also, you don’t mention how you’re trying to run your Django app in your deployment environment, so I’ll just emphasize this particular lines in the docs for [`runserver`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/django-admin/#runserver):

> **DO NOT USE THIS SERVER IN A PRODUCTION SETTING.**

If you’re not using runserver, then it would help if you describe how you’re running your application and how you have _it_ configured to serve the static files. Also note that in most common situations, you do _not_ want your STATIC\_ROOT to be anywhere within your project directory.
