Django static files not loading after serving files in cpanel using whitenoise

I tried serving my static files using whitenoise, but still not getting any of my css/js loading in my pages.
I ran collectstatic after enabling whitenoise and static folder was generated.
I tried using both
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
and django's ManifestStaticFilesStorage backend.
Here are my settings
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'whitenoise.runserver_nostatic',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.humanize',
'crispy_forms',
'classroom',
]
MIDDLEWARE = [
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]
ROOT_URLCONF = 'django_school.urls'
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'django_school.wsgi.application'
...
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'public/static'),
]
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
This is how my project is structured

in my case putting my static folder in public_html solved.

changing debug to false causes styles not work

when I change DEBUG = False my page CSS styles not work.
also, I set allowed hosts but no difference made.
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost']
I use djngo2.2 and here is part of my setting.py:
DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost']
# Application definition
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'matab',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]
MIDDLEWARE = [

'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',

'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]
ROOT_URLCONF = 'labsolutions.urls'
TEMPLATE_DIR= os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'media/template/')
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [TEMPLATE_DIR,],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'labsolutions.wsgi.application'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS=(
os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'media/static/'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'statcifiles')

If you are in developement and you want to serve the static while setting DEBUG=False then you need to launch the server using the insecure option
python manage.py runserver --insecure
Of course it is only valid for development

Django static files can't be loaded on the google compute engine

I have run the python manage.py runserver command on my computer(windows 10) and it work but when I put all of codes on the google cloud platform compute engine(Ubuntu 16) and run the same command it shows all of the static files are not found. Do anyone knows how to fix it?

I would suggest reading this:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/howto/static-files/deployment/
It has specific and exact instructions on the expected deployment of static files.

Overriden templates aren't rendered in production

I've overriden Django-allauth templates in my Django project just creating a new folder "account" in templates folder. This works during deployment on Windows but when I moved the project to DigitalOcean VPS, it is looking for old templates (in allauth app) so I see old styled allauth pages.
This is the structure:
firstapp\
authapp\
templates\
account\
email.html
login.html
anotherapp\
I tried to switch allauth apps and my authapp in INSTALLED_APPS but it doesn't seem to work.
And this is my settings.py INSTALLED_APPS.
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'mainapp',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'crispy_forms',
'super_inlines',
'django_tables2',
'quizzesapp',
'ordersapp',
'django_extensions',
'authapp',
'allauth',
'allauth.account',
'allauth.socialaccount',
'allauth.socialaccount.providers.google',
'allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook',
'languagesapp',
'widget_tweaks',
'localflavor',
'paypal',
'paypal.standard.ipn',
'nested_inline',
'django_forms_bootstrap'
)
What do you thing I should do?
EDIT:
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',

There are three steps to making translations work in Django:
Marking the strings as translatable
Creating the PO files
Compiling the PO files to MO files
The localization guide here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/i18n/translation/#how-to-create-language-files has a good step by step guide to the process.
