make collectstatic not populating s3 bucket

[ravikhetani]

Hi,

When I'm running in Production mode using docker-compose, I'm getting a 500 internal server error with the following message
Missing staticfiles manifest entry for 'css/main.css'. One of the things I noticed was, when I run make collectstatic, it seems to be populating my local directory, rather than s3. Any suggestions? My s3 buckets and cloudfront are working otherwise for streaming videos?

Hi,

We are using whitenoise to manage statics in production. So the statics are not sent to S3.

The error you have is because you propably didn't build sass files. Rune the command make build-sass. Once done the file css/main.css will exists.

@lunika Thanks for the quick reply - I've tried this, presumably /data/static/css is supposed to be populated with main.css right? I've also configured my webserver so that it handles requests to /static, so when I go to /static/css.main.css, I'm able to access the file - am I missing something else here?

I managed to resolve the issue, thanks for your guidance! I just needed to rebuild the image!
