Django - CSS File Not Loading In Production server (Debug: False) - css

Question

Use : nginx,gunicorn,linode for server
Debug=False
When I keep debug=False in production the css file don't get loaded.I have also build 404.html page.Suppose some one visit mydomain.com/abcd then he/she will get the 404 page which I have designed.Its good.The issue is css file not loaded.
Debug True
When I keep debug=True in the production the css file get loaded.Everything goes right.But when someone visited the mydomain.com/abcd then he/she will get the django defaualt error page.If I keep debug=True in the production everything goes right but I have heard that keeping debug=True in production is not recommended and may cause the security issues in the sites
Currently what I have in my settings.py and nginx cofig are :
settings.py :
DEBUG =True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['ip','mydomain.com','www.mydomain.com']
Nginx config file :
server {
server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location projectdir/static/ {
autoindex on ;
root /home/user/projectdir;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
}
Please help me to solve the issue,since I am struggling from past 1 week.
Currently the site is live and css is loaded by keeping debug=True.But I don't want to have any security issue later.

Answer 1

In settings.py file:
You can simply add like below code:
DEBUG = bool(int(os.environ.get('DEBUG', 0))) #Note: 0 means false and 1 means true
Try this way and check if this is solves your error

Answer 2

config required in your settings.py
...
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")
STATIC_URL = "/static/"
make sure you've run the following, so django finds all your static files and puts them in one place
$python manage.py collectstatic
nginx static config should look more like
...
location /static/ {
autoindex on;
alias /home/user/projectdir/static/;
}
