In django 1.7 collectstatic throws an exception for me:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/static'
I've performed a lot of collectstatic
-calls and everything worked fine, but today have this issue.
settings.py
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'fxblog',
'rest_framework',
)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, STATIC_URL.strip("/"))
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
'/static/',
'/upload/',
)
BASE_DIR is correct, checked it. Directory BASE_DIR/static/ exists and all my static files are there.

Any suggestions?
Files in STATICFILES_DIRS need to have absolute path. Use normpath.
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'static')),
normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'upload')),
)
Also it is good to set STATIC_ROOT to something like
STATIC_ROOT = normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'assets'))
and STATIC_URL
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
