Collectstatic error while deploying Django app to Heroku

Question

I\'m trying to deploy a Django app to Heroku, it starts to build, download and installs everything, but that\'s what I get when it comes to collecting static files

Answer 1

This worked for me:

step 1 - heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1
step 2 - git push heroku master

Answer 2

It seems to me that it's having problems creating that blogproject/static folder. I see you have a static folder inside your blog app, but it should be up one level in your blogproject folder.

Try creating a static folder inside your blogproject folder and that error should go away.

I just updated to Django 1.10 today and had the exact same problem. Your static settings are identical to mine as well.

This worked for me, run the following commands:

1. disable the collectstatic during a deploy

   heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1

2. deploy

   git push heroku master

3. run migrations (django 1.10 added at least one)

   heroku run python manage.py migrate

4. run collectstatic using bower

   heroku run 'bower install --config.interactive=false;grunt prep;python manage.py collectstatic --noinput'

5. enable collecstatic for future deploys

   heroku config:unset DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC

6. try it on your own (optional)

   heroku run python manage.py collectstatic

future deploys should work as normal from now on

I face same problem..

Follow this step

1. heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1
2. git push heroku master
3. python manage.py collectstatic
4. python manage.py test
5. If any error occurred after running test..check your STATIC_ROOT is correct like this ==> STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static').
6. After run collectstatic command check all static files are store in static directory for your root dir. level(manage.py dir. level)...
7. heroku run python manage.py collectstatic.
8. heroku run python manage.py migrate
9. heroku config:unset DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC (for future use).
