my settings.py static settings are

STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/mywebsite/public_html/dj/static/'

I have run: manage.py collectstatic successfully.
I restarted the app.
But when i hit the URL http://mywebsite/admin there is no CSS.

Maybe there's something to do with .htaccess somewhere. I need help

P.S. I'm using shared hosting with cPanel and without Terminal access

  • I don't have terminal access. When I run manage.py collectstatic in cPanel's interface there was no errors.

I solved the problem by creating a directory named static inside public_html and putting all my static files there either manually or using manage collectstatic.
So instead of

STATIC_ROOT = '/home/mywebsite/public_html/dj/static/'``` 
I made

STATIC_ROOT = '/home/mywebsite/public_html/static/'

In other words the static folder needs to be directly inside public_html and not inside another folder. I don't know wether this is a general rule for cPanel or just happened in my configuration.
