Django can't find staticfiles with Debug=False and Allowed_Hosts

Question

Hi all I\'m having trouble solving this issue: If I turn DEBUG to False, I can\'t run manage.py runserver:

CommandError: You must set settings.ALLOWED_HOSTS if D

Okay Here's the very clean solution. you need to use

DEBUG = False
DEBUG_PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS = True

This way in your logs you can see what is then problem. Whitenoise returns 500 usually when It is missing some file.

You can see what is missing in you logs. In my case heroku logs were enough.
