The static files take the default project directory always. how do I change it?

Posted on December 29, 2020

Hi… I did the configuration of a Droplet in Digital Ocean with Django-1-click. I using a new directory or my proyect, at the same level as the example project “django_project” created by default. I change the new project location in the file: /etc/systemd/system/gunicorn.service and change the config file: /etc/ nginx/sites-available/default

And I run the command: python3 manage.py collectstatic

For Nginx to serve the Static and Media, but it does not do it well since it still takes the default configuration.

I can see that it is looking for them in the project path by default: /django/django_project/django_project/static, I moved the static ones and it worked because I did not get the style right, but I do not know where that route is taking to be able to change it!
