Django app only works on Debug=True Heroku - django

Question

I thought I had this solved but I guess not. I've got my Django app on Heroku, and it works perfectly with DEBUG = True but does not work with DEBUG = False.
UPDATED QUESTION
Now I'm just battling with this error:
2018-03-14T18:42:08.812921+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H12 desc="Request timeout" method=GET path="/" host=www.powertranspro.com request_id=f75a1cec-d303-4f5c-8eee-ddf605b7c326 fwd="71.38.218.24" dyno=web.1 connect=0ms service=30001ms status=503 bytes=0 protocol=http
Would someone mind reviewing my settings files to see where I've gone wrong.
Answer
I had conflicts with whitenoise. So I went through and deleted everything that had to do with whitenoise and moved my static files to amazon S3. I am updating my code with the correct code on this post in case anyone else has a similar problem.

Answer 1

From the Whitenoise Docs:
If you’re having problems with the WhiteNoise storage backend, the
chances are they’re due to the underlying Django storage engine. This
is because WhiteNoise only adds a thin wrapper around Django’s storage
to add compression support, and because the compression code is very
simple it generally doesn’t cause problems.
The most common issue is that there are CSS files which reference
other files (usually images or fonts) which don’t exist at that
specified path. When Django attempts to rewrite these references it
looks for the corresponding file and throws an error if it can’t find
it.
To test whether the problems are due to WhiteNoise or not, try
swapping the WhiteNoise storage backend for the Django one:
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.ManifestStaticFilesStorage'
Also try python manage.py collectstatic and check if the problem still occurs.

Answer 2

In your project directory, where manage.py is located, will you add a static folder and put a blank human.txt file inside of it? Then do a git commit and push.
