Setup STATIC\_ROOT and STATIC\_DIRS variables in your `project/settngs.py`. Make sure you provide the folders in your STATIC\_ROOT in the live server.

After doing the above, run the following on the live server:  
`./manage collectstatic --clear`

Confirm that your web server (nginx) has access to the folders you specified in STATIC\_ROOT
