Django Deploy

Prepare to Deploy

Before you deploy, you must turn off debug mode. Otherwise, it leads to security issues.

Go to settings.py and change DEBUG = True to False and add your deploy website to in ALLOWED_HOSTS.

DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['.pythonanywhere.com']

Lastly, all static files should be in one directory. Add this line at very bottom in setting.py

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

And write

python manage.py collectstatic
