Django/Heroku deployment problems: Won't work on Debug = False - django

Question

I got my app to deploy, but pages that require an id in session are not rendering. When I set debug = true, everything works fine. Otherwise, I get error 500 message. I've tried many different solutions to no avail.
I imagine the problem is somewhere in my settings.py so I have included that below. I was also able to log the startup so that is included as well.
The main page and pages that don't get a request.session passed into them work fine, as well as functions that update the database. Only pages that require an id passed into the path are not working.
update:
I ran the logentries extension for heroku and found an error on this line:
File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/storage.py", line 420, in stored_name
raise ValueError("Missing staticfiles manifest entry for '%s'" % clean_name)
ValueError: Missing staticfiles manifest entry for '/css/bootstrap.min.css'
I still don't know what to do

Answer 1

not exactly sure, but something went wrong when I compiled all my static filed. I had to...
+ STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedStaticFilesStorage'
- STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
