I think this is common problem, but non of the solutions I tried work.
The code from apache conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xxxx
ServerAdmin xxxx
DocumentRoot /home/matousc/apps/iacah
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /static /home/matousc/apps/iacah/www/static
<Directory /home/matousc/apps/iacah/www/static>
Require all granted
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /home/matousc/apps/iacah/app/mainapp>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
WSGIDaemonProcess iacah python-path=/home/matousc/apps/iacah/app python-home=/home/matousc/apps/appenv
WSGIProcessGroup iacah
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/matousc/apps/iacah/app/mainapp/wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>
I can access the page via Internet, so I am sure that I am editing the right apache conf file. However the static files are not loaded.
The static files are not downloaded with 403 error. I noticed that if I change the line:
Alias /static/ /home/matousc/apps/iacah/www/static
to (removed slash at the end of static
:
Alias /static /home/matousc/apps/iacah/www/static
then I will get 404 error. In tutorials I saw both options, so I am little bit confused why it can play a role.
The owner of the /www/
folder is www-data
(I am using ubuntu 18):
drwxrwx--x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 21 10:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 matousc matousc 4096 Sep 21 10:14 ..
drwxrwxrwx 12 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 21 10:14 static
I use this machine as a multihost, and I have there one other static website, that works (the files are served correctly)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xxxxx
ServerAdmin xxxx
DocumentRoot /home/matousc/apps/placeholder
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory /home/matousc/apps/placeholder>
Require all granted
Options +Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
In Django I use (I hope recommended) settings:
STATIC_URL = "/static/"
if production_machine:
level_up = os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(level_up, "www", "static")
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
STATIC_ROOT,
)
else:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
)
(the production_machine
should be True).
Any ideas what else I can try?
