Collectstatic not working

[Satinderpal Singh]

I am trying to configure the static files for my project by following the Django guide https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/

 My project is like this:

     Automation

     |

     |-----static

     |     |

     |     |-----css

     |     |-----js

     |-----__init__.py

     |-----settings.py

     |-----urls.py

     |-----wsgi.py

     |

     |-----myapp

     |

     |-----templates

PROJECT_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH,'static')

STATICFILES_DIRS = (

                                             os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'static'), 

)

On running ./manage.py  collectstatic     in the terminal, gives following message.

    "The STATICFILES_DIRS setting should "

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The STATICFILES_DIRS setting should not contain the STATIC_ROOT setting

 

How could i solve this problem.

Remove the 

 os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'static'), 

From staticfiles_dir by default this already included.

The problem is that you have your STATIC_ROOT as one of the
STATICFILES_DIRS. The STATIC_ROOT directory should be empty, that is
where all the static files from different places will be gathered when
you run collectstatic. You should probably create a static directory
under the myapp directory and move all your static files there. Leave
the STATIC_ROOT setting as you have it now, and don't specify
STATICFILES_DIRS. By default django looks in static directories under
all apps in INSTALLED_APPS.

Thanks a lot Lucas and Brad.

I tried this way, but it makes a directory "admin" inside the project, which further contains the "css" "image" and "js" folders inside it. Are you asked about this or a different static directory for "myapp".

 Thanks, it works for me, and collectstatic made a directory inside the project. But not any change occur in the project, with default css and js. How could it works.
