Hey,
I want to get my minimum Django project up and running but I am struggling with settings splitting.
I have chosen the approach of having a settings module (i think it is called that way):
I am in a folder called django-landscape
and created a base.py
, local.py
and prod.py
.
├── landscape
│ ├── settings
│ │ ├── base.py
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ ├── local.py
│ │ ├── prod.py
Now this works perfectly with specifying the settings file which I want to use:
python manage.py runserver --settings landscape.settings.local
python manage.py runserver --settings landscape.settings.prod
The Problem - Static and media files are not found
Here is the complete base.py
as reference:
"""
Django settings for landscape project.
Generated by 'django-admin startproject' using Django 4.0.3.
For more information on this file, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/settings/
For the full list of settings and their values, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/settings/

I already adjusted the BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent.parent
for the settings folder I created.
I am missing something elsewhere.
