Serving static files

[ChibahAbdelwahab]

Hi,
I'm trying to use Daphne on production for all traffic HTTP and WebSocket, the problem is that the static files are not found,
I saw in a previous issue that i should follow these 3 steps from https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/deployment/#serving-static-files-in-production

• Push your code up to the deployment server.
• On the server, run collectstatic to copy all the static files into STATIC_ROOT.
• Configure your web server to serve the files in STATIC_ROOT under the URL STATIC_URL.
  How can i configure Daphne so that it can serve the static files?

Django (including when it runs under Daphne) does not serve static files when DEBUG=False - you're meant to configure another server (like nginx) to serve them for you.

If you do want it to serve them, you'll have to use an app that lets Django serve static files in production, like whitenoise.
