'python Manage.py Collectstatic' Is Still Collecting Static To C Drive Instead Of S3 Bucket, Am I Missing Something?

I am trying to use s3 bucket with django (I have done this like twice before) but this time, after installing boto3 and django-storages and assigning correct values to necessary va

Solution 1:

I tend to have define my own subclass of S3Boto3Storage and use that

# ./storage_backends.py - lives in the same dir as the config file.from storages.backends.s3boto3 import S3Boto3Storage

from django.conf import settings


classStaticRootS3BotoStorage(S3Boto3Storage):
    location = settings.STATIC_DIRECTORY

Then

# config.py

STATIC_DIRECTORY = BASE_DIR + "/build/static"# You will need to change this to your path
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'config.settings.storage_backends.StaticRootS3BotoStorage'# you also need to change this to the path to the file we created above.

STATIC_URL = 'https://%s/%s/' % (AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN, STATIC_DIRECTORY)

Now you can override methods for debugging and see where the problem might be.
