As I have very little knowledge about Linux, pretty much all I can do is copy and paste things from a good tutorial and in most cases simply hope nothing goes wrong. I really tried finding a solution on my own and searching the internet but to no avail (I found a number of quite similar things but no solution I understood enough to be able to adapt it on my own to fix my problem).
I've installed an osm tile server using this amazing tutorial and it works like a charm. Now I want to install umap, using this tutorial.
Everything works fine until I get to the line "umap collectstatic". The error I get is this:
(venv) $ sudo umap collectstatic
[sudo] Passwort für umap2:
You have requested to collect static files at the destination
location as specified in your settings:
/home/ybon/.virtualenvs/umap/var/static
This will overwrite existing files!
Are you sure you want to do this?
Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes

Now, I get the something might be wrong with a setting in a config file somewhere, but changing the directory in local.py doesn't seem to do anything (like I have set it to STATIC_ROOT = '/home/xxx_myusername_xxx/umap/var/static') - I have no idea where this "/home/ybon/Code/..." path even comes from! What settings ?
I sure didn't specify THIS path anywhere! And the folder is indeed nowhere to be found on my machine. Maybe using virtualenv is somehow generating it, and I can't find it on my machine because it IS virtual (as in "not really there physically") but this is just a very wild guess and I don't really know what I'm talking about.
(I tried running the command with and without sudo and it doesn't change anything).
