Using Django Deployment
1

Hello there,
just created project and trying to deploy it on Windows Server 2019 with Apache Lounge and mod_wsgi. Everything works perfectly except for built-in admin pages, because static file for it just not loading
settings.py

STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static/')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    'static/'
]

httpd.conf

Alias /static "C:/Users/adm.dev/Desktop/git/helpdesk/helpdesk/static/"
<Directory "C:/Users/adm.dev/Desktop/git/helpdesk/helpdesk/static/">
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Hi @chicha, first thing, you have to check in the console of the server if you have any other error.
Then, try to use this configuration:

import os
from pathlib import Path

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')  # Directory for collected static files

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),  # Additional static files
]

Also, you have to run:

python manage.py collectstatic

and check where they are saved.

In my opinion you have to update the config your apache configuration to serve static files correctly, try this:

# Serve Django static files
Alias /static/ "C:/Users/adm.dev/Desktop/git/helpdesk/staticfiles/"

<Directory "C:/Users/adm.dev/Desktop/git/helpdesk/staticfiles/">
    Require all granted
</Directory>

# Configure WSGI
WSGIDaemonProcess helpdesk python-path=C:/Users/adm.dev/Desktop/git/helpdesk python-home=C:/Users/adm.dev/Desktop/git/helpdesk/venv
WSGIProcessGroup helpdesk
WSGIScriptAlias / "C:/Users/adm.dev/Desktop/git/helpdesk/helpdesk/wsgi.py"

<Directory "C:/Users/adm.dev/Desktop/git/helpdesk/helpdesk/">
    <Files wsgi.py>
        Require all granted
    </Files>
</Directory>

Finally, try to restart apache and check if it is working.
Also, try to check inside the log file of Apache.

Very grateful to your reply, but found out that it was my mistake in routing to static, i misplaced my STATIC_ROOT folder with STATIC_URL folder in apache settings.

Anyway, thank you for reply)
