When you try to load one of the static assets in a separate browser tab, what content is rendered? Sometimes that gives you a hint as to why access is denied(403).

[Ruby]

This could be some permission-related issue, consider adding the web app user to the www-data group by running the command below

 sudo usermod -a -G "$USER" www-data

Remember to restart the web server after executing the above command.

sudo usermod -aG simple_genius www-data
sudo chown -R :www-data /home/simple_genius/projects/personal and it worked.


Now the problem is when I set DEBUG to False, some of my static assets does not serve. I am using whitenoise to serve static assets. I am also using django-tailwind in my project. STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]
STATICFILES_STORAGE = "whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage"



This is what is shown on the console when I inspect:
"Error
