Amazon Elastic Beanstalk not serving django static files

Question

I am trying to put up a simple django app on elastic beanstalk. I thought I had the static parts of the app figured out as it works with heroku and on a server that was set up

Answer 1

If your environment uses a platform branch based on Amazon Linux 2, the right settings for .config file inside .ebextensions folder

aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:proxy:staticfiles:
    /static: static

Inside your project settings.py you should have:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = 'static'
