Installing magento 2 does not deploy the /pub/static/frontend and backend

Question

I\'m having this weird error and I did not suceed to find the origin. First of all I would like to say that I succeeded to perform some installation of Magento 2 on a window

Answer 1

When installing Magento 2.1.4 from scratch I also confronted with permissions problems and CSS and JS not loading in the page because they were not found by the server although I just ran

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

and

php bin/magento cache:clean

It turned out that this setting is needed in the database to access the CSS and JS and have the site loading after first magento2 install.

insert core_config_data (config_id, scope, scope_id, path, value) values (null, 'default', 0, 'dev/static/sign', 0); 

This seemed to be the only sollution to have the site up and working.

Answer 2

An easier would be to run below command from magento root folder.

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

This will feed the content perfectly in respective folders. If you have specific language then run like below.

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_US
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_GB

Answer 3

First please delete 'static' folder from 'pub/static' in magento 2 before delete this folder please copy .htaccess file from this folder in other folder in your pc. <-- Changes in app\code\Magento\Developer\etc\di.xml -->

Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink  

<--to-->

Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy

After that using cmd/shell run these commands

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

and

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

After runing these commands .Paste old .htaccess file into new static folder. Thats it. And Clear Full Cache.

php bin/magento cache:clean

Your project working now enjoy!

Answer 4

You get 404 responses probably because you don't have mod_rewrite enabled. You should enable it. But it can work without it. There is a 'cache' system for these static resources. navigate to the folder dev/tools/Magento/Tools/View and run this in the command line

php deploy.php

It works perfect. But still if you have issues then let me know.

------ EDIT ------

Edit as per the Chirag Bhavsar's answer.Enter below command from root of the Magento folder. New command will be

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Answer 5

The static content deploy process is described as below:

1) Delete adminhtml,frontend and _requirejs folders from pub/static folder.

2) Please don't delete the .htacces file in that pub/static folder.

3) Delete all folders in the directory var/cache.

4) Give 777 permission to both pub and var folders.

5) Run the command:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
