Django Suit admin panel - Static files configuration Django 1.6 not working

[Roger Lanoue jr]

Hi Django users group.

I am test and learning django out. I have a testing server and got my test page up. 

Started to play with the Django suit control panel and ran in to some problems with my setup.

Server: Digital Ocean one click install.

Ubuntu 14.04

Nginx

Postgres

python 2.7

django 1.6

Test server

http://162.243.201.237/

Admin panel: http://django-suit.readthedocs.io/en/develop/

http://162.243.201.237/admin/

user: demo

pasword: demo

Static file command I ran

python manage.py collectstatic

results: 0 static files copied, 116 unmodified.

Setting.py: Basics 

DEBUG = False 

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = False

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [

    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),

    '/home/django/django_project/static/',

Nginx setting:

 # Your Django project's media files - amend as required

    location /media  {

        alias /home/django/django_project/django_project/media;

    }

    # your Django project's static files - amend as required

    location /static {

        alias /home/django/django_project/django_project/static; 

    }

    # Proxy the static assests for the Django Admin panel

    location /static/admin {

       alias /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/;

    }

    location / {

        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

        proxy_redirect off;

        proxy_pass http://app_server;

    }

 My goal is to get the Django suit working. I do not see anything in my static files directory for the admin suit so the css can be applied. 

I am missing something very simple to get this working.

Thank you for taking time to look at this and wish to get some clues.

Where is  STATIC_ROOT ?

static_root path needs to match with nginx /static location.

I am rebuilding a new server from scratch now. 

New IP: Same setup with new IP from Digital Ocean 1click install - 

http://162.243.58.204/

I am going to try and setup the Static files directory again. 

Since they are using Django 1.6 and the command makemigration and migrate are not in 1.6

Should i start using Django 1.8 or 1.9 before configuring the server?
