Django collectstatic no such file or directory

In django 1.7, collectstatic throws an exception for me:

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/static'

I have done many collectstatic collections, and everything worked fine, but today is the problem.

settings.py

 BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'fxblog', 'rest_framework', ) STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, STATIC_URL.strip("/")) STATICFILES_DIRS = ( '/static/', '/upload/', )

BASE_DIR is correct, checked it. The BASE_DIR / static / directory exists and all my static files exist.

Traceback:

Any suggestions?

Files in STATICFILES_DIRS must have an absolute path. Use the normal path.

 STATICFILES_DIRS = ( normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'static')), normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'upload')), )

It is also useful to set STATIC_ROOT to something like

 STATIC_ROOT = normpath(join(BASE_DIR, 'assets'))

and STATIC_URL

 STATIC_URL = '/static/'

try the following:

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

and leave it blank since you are using STATIC_ROOT

 STATICFILES_DIRS = ( # Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static". # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows. # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths. )

it should work that way.

So, I had a similar problem, and I realized that fraggles suggested, but I got the following error:

 NameError: name 'normpath' is not defined

My job was that instead of the keyword ".normpath" instead of the keyword ".dirname" the keyword ".dirname" was switched:

 STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(os.path.normpath(BASE_DIR), "static") )

And it worked like magic. Hope this solution also helps someone.
