Answer 1

Try running the command python manage.py collectstatic

Answer 2

Ok, listen! First,You need to write in your settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')

Later, you can run the collectstatic command to save the differnts admin static files in the right folder.

you will need as well as setting up your server to serve static files, I don't know what is the correct configuration in the iis but you can find the apache configuration in this link.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/

Finally, you have to put your urlpatterns like this.

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'',include(api_urls)),
    url(r'^api-token-auth/', obtain_jwt_token),
    url(r'^api-token-verify/', verify_jwt_token),
]+static(settings.STATIC_URL,document_root = settings.STATIC_ROOT)

Try this, comments your results and we will help you!

Good Luck!

Answer 3

I solved the problem!! First I changed my settings.py file like below

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(file), 'static')) STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join('static'), )

Second, I edited my iis by looking into these three below

1. Django Static Files - 404
2. What are the problems with loading CSS and JS from Django to IIS7?
3. How to fetch static CSS files with django on IIS?

I actually followed the steps exactly like the third answer except that I used the web config file like below and I put that under C:\inetpub\wwwroot\myprojectname\static folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <!-- 
      This removes Helicon Zoo handler and makes IIS processing static files.
      -->
      <remove name="django.project#x64" />
      <remove name="django.project#x86" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I am truly thankful for people who helped me out especially soupboy, auros132, and cutteeth. Thank you guys for the support!

Answer 4

If you look at the server console, you'll probably see some 404 errors. You need to enable DEBUG=True on your settings.py file, although according to Django docs, this is NOT recommended on production, and should only be used on the dev environment.
