Static folder about django-ex HOT 14 CLOSED

@rhcarvalho or @GrahamDumpleton can you help here?

from django-ex.

there's a link in that settings file that tells you how to deal with them,
for what i can tell there's no static directory in this projects because we have everything (css/js) in the template file

from django-ex.

and the link: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/static-files/

from django-ex.

Thanks @PI-Victor but you can imagine that I already done that.
My project works fine in local.
I tried several configurations and you can find more informations on my post : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37845189/static-files-on-openshift-with-django
Thanks

Hi @general03, looking at your SO post, I think you're working with OpenShift v2, where you have cartridges and so on (current OpenShift Online offering).
This example repository is meant for use with OpenShift v3. Doesn't mean you get no help :)

When you run Django in production (debug=False), you need to handle serving static files by some other means.

• One way to do it is to setup a HTTP server like httpd or nginx.
• Or use a pure-Python solution like this repo is configured to use WhiteNoise.

Looking at the implementation for the Python Cartridge, there's indeed an option to place files in $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/wsgi/static:

<% #Backward compatibilty with wsgi/static/ directory
  if $SAFE!=2 && (File.directory?("#{ENV['OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR']}wsgi/static") || File.symlink?("#{ENV['OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR']}wsgi/static"))
    %><%= "Alias /static #{ENV['OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR']}wsgi/static" %><%
  end
%>

So I suspect if you drop your static files in wsgi/static in your project repository it should work.

Definitely there must be some official documentation for that, @bparees any pointers?

from django-ex.

@rhcarvalho good catch. I can't seem to dig up any useful v2 python docs at the moment, but maybe @dinhxuanvu has a pointer.

from django-ex.

It doesn't look like we have an official document for this unfortunately or at least I couldn't find it anywhere. However, @rhcarvalho comment is correct regarding where to put static files $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/wsgi/static. So his advice is the way to go.

Also, I found this post that looks useful. Please take a look: StackOverflow

Thanks.

If you need a v2 version for django, try mine :)

We do have a Django example for V2 which is https://github.com/openshift/django-example

from django-ex.

@jfmatth Sorry pal :D... I couldn't resist stealing your thunder :P...

No worries, it's all free open source anyway, that's the way we do it.

But if ur at summit today, you can buy me a drink :)

Haha. Sorry, I'm not at the Summit this year but next year when Summit is back in Boston, I owe you one :D.

from django-ex.

In the wsgi.py I have to have

sys.path.append(os .path.join(os.environ['OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR']))
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE' ] = 'project.settings.app'

and in my settings.py

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.getenv('OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR'), 'wsgi/static', )
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

And the filesystem of my website

repo
 project
  ...
 wsgi
  static
 wsgi.py

from django-ex.

You should checkout my repo, those changes aren't required :).

good luck
