When I run collectstatic on my Django site, I always get an error.
This is my settings.py:

This only happens when I use Whitenoise. If I use the normal Django static service, It works but the CSS doesn't show. I'm using Heroku
EDIT: Here's my wsgi.py
import os
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'mysite.settings')
application = get_wsgi_application()
Comment whitenoise part in wsgi.py then run collectstatic and uncomment whitenoise part while deployment.
Also no need of STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage
sample for wsgi.py
import os
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from whitenoise.django import DjangoWhiteNoise
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myproject.settings')
application = get_wsgi_application()
application = DjangoWhiteNoise(application)
