setting debug to false

[Nenad Cikic]

Hello,
is there any known reason why I can not see my static files when setting debug to false in the settings.py?
Just setting debug to True all is OK.

Thanks
Nenad

you need to run the collectstatic management command
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#django-admin-collectstatic)

Yes, I know about that, but I just wanted to test with runserver and debug=False (I have done my 404.html and with debug=True it does not shows up)
Isn't the collectstatic command when you want to pass to deployment server?

I have managed to solve using the
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6363728/why-cant-i-get-my-static-dir-to-work-with-django-1-3
by adding to url
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT } ),

where I have first collected to STATIC_ROOT with collectstatic
Whn it will come to deployment, we will see what happens.
Thanks
