Django Apache setup - forbidden Error 403-CodePudding

Since it did not work on the first time, I created a fresh new venv for my django project.

my folder structure looks like this: btw I used the Django/Apache Setup guide from digitalOcean (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-apache-and-mod_wsgi-on-ubuntu-16-04)

/home/pi/myproject/myprojectenv (this is where my env is located) /home/pi/myproject/myprojectenv/myproject/myproject (this is where the settings.py is located)

I added this to the settings.py file (I use a pi, I only serve locally)

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost', '127.0.0.1']

and at the bottom

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

my /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>


        #for django
        Alias /static /home/pi/myproject/myprojectenv/myproject
        <Directory /home/pi/myproject/myprojectenv/myproject/static>
                Require all granted
        </Directory>
        <Directory /home/pi/myproject/myprojectenv/myproject>
                <Files wsgi.py>
                        Require all granted
                </Files>
        </Directory>

        WSGIDaemonProcess myproject python-home=/home/pi/myproject/myprojectenv python-path=/home/pi/myproject
        WSGIProcessGroup myproject
        WSGIScriptAlias / /home/pi/myproject/myprojectenv/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py



        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html

       

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        
</VirtualHost>

when I go to /static in the browser I get a http 403 forbidden Error. What am I doing wrong?

CodePudding user response：

Your alias is wrong

Alias /static/ /home/pi/myproject/myprojectenv/myproject/static/

CodePudding user response：

First, I'd remove (if you haven't already) the DocumentRoot from your configuration, since you don't seem to be using that feature. See here.

Where are your static files? If they're in BASE_DIR/static/, your alias is wrong, as Mohamed has pointed out. And remember to include the last forward slash, so use /static/ instead of /static.

Also, if you have a static file, let's say BASE_DIR/static/css/styles.css, you would access this through http://localhost/static/css/styles.css, so make sure you're using the appropriate URL.

Last but not least, is your site working properly besides apache not serving static files?
