Question

I\'m new to heroku and I tried a simple django app without css.

But I just added a css file in my app and when i do this:

git push heroku master
         


        

Answer 1

You're on your way. What's happening is that Heroku is trying to use your STATICFILES_DIRS setting (/home/kevin/web/django/appheroku/blogapp/static) that exists locally on your machine but won't doesn't exist on the Heroku server.

A simple solution is to remove that line from the staticfiles_dir variable so you have:

STATICFILES_DIRS = ()

Then your default STATICFILES_FINDERS will kick in and you should be good to go to run your app both locally as well as deployed on Heroku.
