I'm currently trying to learn Django, however, I can't get Apache to serve the static files. I've tried using the development server or gunicorn both running on port 8000.

I can access the page just fine, but Bootstrap is not loaded. Also, when I'm trying to open the static files directly (mydomain.com:8000/static/app/css/bootstrap.min.css) I get a "Connection Refused". 

<VirtualHost *:8000>
DocumentRoot /home/django/project/
ServerName mydomain.com
Alias /static /home/django/project/static

<Directory /home/django/project/static>
    Require all granted
</Directory>


root@ip-:~# tree -dc /home/django/project/

From settings.py:

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),'static'),)

  • Have you specified the STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_DIRS in your settings.py? – Ankush Raghuvanshi Jul 19 '16 at 11:18

  • Is the bootstrap.min.css in static/app/css ? – ger.s.brett Jul 19 '16 at 11:57
  • @ger.s.brett Yes, it most certainly is. I used `tree -d` for better legibility. – theCed7 Jul 19 '16 at 12:31
  • @AnkushRaghuvanshi Yes I have: `STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")` and `STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),'static'),)` – theCed7 Jul 19 '16 at 12:42
  • Shouldn't I be able to access the static files without any instance of django running by opening up `http://ydomain.com:8000/static/medisearch/css/bootstrap.min.css`? Is there an issue with my Apache config? – theCed7 Jul 19 '16 at 12:46
  • Silly question but what do your filesystem permissions look like on /home/django/project/? Is it possible Apache can't read them in the first place? Apache runs as its own user, it looks like you have a separate "django" user as well. – Ivan Jul 19 '16 at 15:09
