Answer 1

Look closely, Apache tries to load files from /home/jisson/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis/staticjs, not /home/jisson/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis/static/js like you wanted.
If files are correctly collected by collectstatic command (they appear in STATIC_ROOT directory after running that command), then problem is not in Django side, but rather in Apache, so you should check your Apache configuration files.
