Hello,
I have been trying to solve a issue serving static files. At one point the files were located, wsgi:error message in error_log, but the css still wasn’t loaded. So I’ve renamed /static/ to /staticfiles/ and reran python ./manage.py collectstatic. The files are there. The path seems correct i.e. I can see the plaintext via localhost:8000/path/to/static/style.css. The same path apache should be looking for, seems to be.
The issue I’m at now is a MIME type error in the browser, a 404, but also the ‘file not found’ errors in apache logs for ‘style/style.css’.
I am running apache server.

I have 755 on dirs and 644 on files, root:apache for all.
The venv is nserpvenv312 running python3.12, that is also the interpreter I’m using in dev.
Willing to do whatever it takes to get this right. I thought I had an understanding because I’ve launched this app 3 times now, each time with different errors but Ive been able to solve them with the internet. I just cannot for the life of me figure this one out. Hopefully after this I will understand where I am going wrong and have smooth deployments for future versions.
Thank you!
