i'm trying change static_url='/static/' url static_url='http://www.url.com/my_project/static' result still doesn't appears

when try in localhost, works properly.

how solution ?

in production need first define static_root , run collectstatic in order have static files collected there.

after running collectstatic should able cd dir associated static_root , see files.

edit: code below should added in apache conf file, not in django settings

finally if using apache (and serving files same server running django app) need serve path of static_root under url defined in static_url, example assuming static_url /static/:

alias /static/ /path/to/mysite.com/static_root_directory/ 

and set permissions:

<directory /path/to/mysite.com/static_root_directory> require granted </directory> 

ps didn't provide many details environment (server, static on same server or not) had make assumptions. if provide more details i'm happy help.
