django 1.4 : gunicorn can't find static files. settings option

[Bolang]

Hi,
I just started to using django 1.4 with gunicorn 0.14.3
With ./manage.py runserver , i can start django properly and django can
find my files in static directory.
Then i use gunicorn and then gunicorn can't find my files in static
directory.

I have tried these combination
gunicorn myproject.wsgi:application --settings myproject.settings
gunicorn myproject.wsgi:application --settings /absolute/path/to/settings.py
./manage.py run_gunicorn --settings=myproject.settings

All of the commands can start django, but can't find my files in static
directory

I also found this issue https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/322
But, i can't find the solution from that page.

Any kind of help will be appreciated

Thanks

For development, you could add this to main urls.py like this.
(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT, 'show_indexes':True}),

But for production use your web server to serve static files.

At least this is how I solved it. I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Hi Huseyin,

I have the same problem as Bo but this again did not solve my problem. This works with django webserver (runserver) but not with gunicorn.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi, 

if you don’t have a web server available (for example on some PaaS like Heroku), you can do two things for production-ready static file serving: 

- use an external service like Amazon S3 (with the help of django-storages)

- use dj-static, which uses an WSGI middleware to serve your static files and integrates into django (alternative is SharedDataMiddlware of werkzeug, used by flask)

Don’t forget that you have to run „./mange.py collectstatic“ to gather all the files in one directory.
