Django: Static files not working in production environment - django

Question

I tried all the ways to deploy static files in production environment but still the static files are not appearing. I don't know whats wrong.
Please help me in deploying static files(like css, javascripts, images, etc.).
I've tried using many different ways from many sources.But all in vain
Is there any easy way or can you please explain the traditional ways. Can you please explain the steps that you followed?

Answer 1

At last i got an easy way to deploy static files in production environment. Therefore answering my own question.
For all the newbies like me who are feeling helpless in this case see this:-
https://github.com/kennethreitz/dj-static
1st Step: Install this using following command in terminal
$ sudo pip install dj-static
This is a simple Django middleware utility that allows you to properly serve static assets from production with a WSGI server like Gunicorn.
2nd Step:- Just set
#In settings.py file (to set production environment.)
Debug= False
3rd Step:- Configure your static assets in settings.py:
#add your path to STATIC_ROOT
STATIC_ROOT = 'staticfiles'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
4th Step:-
And copy the lines written below and add them to wsgi.py
Do not remove any other lines. Just add these
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from dj_static import Cling
application = Cling(get_wsgi_application())
And its done. Now test it.
Note: Only using Apache(2.4) as web server. Nothing else to support apache.
Hope this helps other people too.
if you have some more ways or simplified version of the traditional way please do share it.
