The urls.py file:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]+ static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
The settings.py file:
STATIC_URL = '/web/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/domain.com/public_html/web/public/static'
I am using cyberpanel with openlightspeed server with contex:
context / {
type appserver
location /home/domain.com/public_html/web
binPath /usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lswsgi
appType wsgi
startupFile web/wsgi.py
envType 1
env LS_PYTHONBIN=/home/domain.com/public_html/bin/pyhton
env PYTHONHOME=/home/domain.com/public_html/
}

Hi there,
Here’s a general approach you could try to diagnose and fix the issue:
Check the Paths: Make sure that the paths in your
settings.pyare correct and accessible by the web server.Configure OpenLiteSpeed to Serve Static Files: You’ll need to add a context for serving static files in your OpenLiteSpeed configuration. This will tell OpenLiteSpeed where to find the static files and serve them directly without going through your Django app.
You can add the following context to your OpenLiteSpeed configuration file or through the admin interface:
Make sure to adjust the paths as needed based on your directory structure.
Collect Static Files: Run the
collectstaticcommand to make sure all your static files are in the correct location:Check Permissions: Ensure that the permissions are set correctly on the static files directory so that OpenLiteSpeed can read them.
Restart OpenLiteSpeed: Finally, you’ll need to restart OpenLiteSpeed to apply the changes:
Verify URLs: Verify that the URLs to your static files in your HTML templates are being rendered with the correct path based on your
STATIC_URLsetting.Best,
Bobby
