Issue with deploying Django on Heroku - django

Question

Hi Guys I tried deploying my first django on heroku and i am frequently facing issues with the deployment.
I think this is something to do with my settings.py file.
I am clearly unaware with this issue python manage.py collectstatic--noinput , but i have written everything .
Thanks in Advance for help and ideas.
$ python manage.py collectstatic--noinput

See traceback above for details.
You may need to update application code to resolve this error.
Or, you can disable collectstatic for this application:
$ heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1

Answer 1

YOu need to keep only one of the following lines in settings.py file.
#use this
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
or this
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
not both in settings.py file
Also, You can use command like:
python manage.py collectstatic
