After 2 days of trying multiple tutorials & reading StackOverflow, I'm calling for help!
The setting: The development version is running smoothly on the AWS Lightsail server. It's during the production deployment that I'm running in continuous problems with the static files. The application runs on the appointed subdomain but it's missing all the JS/CSS/images/...
I have followed the official docs but to no avail. 1/ https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/django/get-started/deploy-django-project/ 2/ https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/django/get-started/deploy-django-project/
My Folder Tree with relevant files:
Project
- conf
- httpd-app.conf
- httpd-prefix.conf

- settings.py

- static (after running collectstatic function in terminal,-it includes the admin, Solar statics)

- the bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf file is empty? Can this be?
Checked as well:
- restarted Apache on multiple occasions
- played around with the static_url & static_roots
Can anyone advise how to proceed? It's been extremely frustrating 2 days haha.
Note, maybe this can help : double-checked with the findstatic function, it redirects me to the Solar/static folder. I thought since I ran collect static, I should point to the Project level static folder in the apache conf & not the Solar level static folder.
