My Static files not loading when using LoginRequiredMiddleware in django 5.1.

Using Django Deployment
1

I’m using django 5.1. After deploying it to my sharedhost using cpanel, static files not loading. I’m using “django.contrib.auth.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware”. When I remove this from Middleware it works. I need LoginRequiredMiddleware also I want to load static files. Please help me how can I do this. I’m using [How to Deploy your Django Web App and connect a MySQL Database in cPanel - DEV Community] to deploy my project.

I think there is not any static files configuration.

Try to search for static or media files page in your cPanel and customize for your project.

In inspect it shows http://ilife.sazzad.info.bd/login/?next=/static/vendor/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css it should be http://ilife.sazzad.info.bd/login/static/vendor/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css When I remove django.contrib.auth.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware then it works fine link shows http://ilife.sazzad.info.bd/login/static/vendor/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css @newjasjanpython

Yeah. You are being redirected to login when you requested to your staticfiles. Can you show your urls.py in project folder.

5 
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

urlpatterns = [
    path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='admin/login.html'), name='login'),
    path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('core.urls')),
]

if settings.DEBUG:
     urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

if settings.DEBUG:
     urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

this is my urls.py code @newjasjanpython

6 
LOGIN_EXEMPT_URLS = [
    'login',
    STATIC_URL, MEDIA_URL, # others if you want
]

you can skip STATIC and MEDIA urls.

this is not working.

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
    'core.middleware.CurrentUserAndIdleTimeoutMiddleware',
]

this is my middleware and

LOGIN_URL = '/login/'  # This should match your login URL pattern
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
LOGIN_EXEMPT_URLS = [
    'login',
    STATIC_URL, MEDIA_URL, # others if you want
]

this my others settings.

Just delete middleware and use decorators.

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.shortcuts import render

@login_required
def my_view(request):
    return render(request, 'my_template.html')

For class based views:

from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

class MyView(LoginRequiredMixin, TemplateView):
    template_name = 'my_template.html'

This is best way for hosting.
(Use server for deployment)

In my opinion django.contrib.auth.middleware.LoginRequiredMiddleware is redirecting your request for staticfiles to login page.
