I would like to publish my website made in Django with Debug=False setting. However, this gives me error 500. I did my best but it still doesn't work. Here is what I already tried:
- I went through this question: CommandError: You must set settings.ALLOWED_HOSTS if DEBUG is False
- I learnt I need to add allowed_hosts but neither localhost, *, nor the link to my website worked.
- I tried to collect staticfiles. It did not help. My project is on heroku and heroku collects all staticfiles authomatically by itself.
- There might be some problem with setting of whitenoise, but I am not able to run debug=False even locally.
You can find all my code here: https://github.com/eliska-n/elinit/tree/master. Here I share my settings.py file.
