Stackato not servering Django static files

Question

I am deploying an Django app to Stackato. Everything works fine except static files. According to the documentation, here is my setting in .yml file:

processes:
  web: $STACKATO_UWSGI --static-map /static=$HOME/static

And here is my local setting.py:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, "static"),
    '/var/www/static/',
)

Also, here is my project structure

Project -- .....
           |
            static -- css
                  |
                   -- images

I did not see any error from the log. Any idea?

Your configuration should work. Specifically assets in your static/css and static/images directories will be available via urls like http://your-stackato-host/static/css/yourstyle.css.

To help troubleshoot this I created a bare-bones example on github which you can clone and push to Stackato to verify it's working.

Thanks for the help! It works now by adding missing url settings as posted in the answer. – Hua2308 Apr 08 '15 at 17:02

Just figured it out:

1.While settings.DEBUG is set to True, static url pattern has to be included:

from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

2.Static files should follow this structure:

Project -- <app 'Project'> -- settings.py
           |                  |
           |                  -- urls.py
           |                  |
           |                  -- wsgi.py
           |
           -- <app 'somename'> -- ..
                            |
                            -- static -- <app 'somename'> -- css - a.css
                                                          |
                                                          -- images - a.jpg

3.STATIC_ROOT should not be the actual location of static directory, which could be as this: Project/Project/static, while STATICFILES_DIRS has to be the actual static files directory which is Project/somename app/static
