Static files are not loading after deployment on digitelocean

Question

I have deploye my django application on digitel ocean by following this

blog:alocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-apache-and-mod_wsgi-on-ubuntu-16-04

this is the url as an error i am getting in console for static files

(index):5913 GET http://67.205.160.21/static/js/dashkit.min.js net::ERR_ABORTED 403 (Forbidden) (index):5913 GET http://67.205.160.21/static/js/style.js net::ERR_ABORTED 403 (Forbidden)

every thing is fine except static file,

settings.py

  STATIC_URL = '/static/'
  STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

after running the python3 manage.py collect static it gives this

/home/podstatsclub/webapp/Podcast_stats/static

which i have put into default.config file which look something like this

    Alias /static /home/podstatsclub/webapp/Podcast_stats/static
    <Directory /home/podstatsclub/webapp/Podcast_stats/static>
            <Files wsgi.py>
              Require all granted
            </Files>
    </Directory>

    <Directory /home/podstatsclub/webapp/Podcast_stats/podcast>
      <Files wsgi.py>
        Require all granted
      </Files>
    </Directory>

    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/podstatsclub/webapp/Podcast_stats/podcast/wsgi.py

Answer 1

In your static directory you accidentally grant access only to wsgi.py ... thats a copy paste mistake. Just leave the "require all granted" there.
