Django staticfiles not found on Heroku (with whitenoise)

Question

This question seems to be asked several time but I can not fix it.

I deployed a django app on production with DEBUG = False. I set my allowed_hos

Answer 1

In addition to above answers, it can also be that you have not specified a correct STATIC_ROOT as described in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/#deployment

For me, the solution was adding this to the end of my production settings.py

STATIC_ROOT = "/app/static/"

To know where your static folder is in your heroku run this

heroku run python manage.py collectstatic

Then you will see the path being shown there.
