Answer 1

Django recommends that you deploy static files with a web server other than wsgi.

1. In settings.py, set:

STATIC_ROOT = 'static'

2. Run python manage.py collectstatic, which will copy the Django admin static files to /path/to/project/static/

3. Configure your static file server. If you use Nginx, you could add this config:

   location /static/ {                              
       alias /path/to/project/static/;  
       expires modified +1w;                        
   }  
   

4. Reload your web server

You should now have access to the static files.
