python manage.py collectstatic - Digital Ocean - Django

I tried again to host my django project on digital ocean and I get this error after I send "python manage.py collectstatic". Can you help me interpret this error? I can't understand if it is correlated to my code in django or something that I wrote wrong during the process of hosting the project on the server.

You need to setup your STATIC_ROOT variable, that's the absolute path to the directory where collectstatic will collect static files for deployment, according to Django documention.
As you can see here, the STATICFILES_DIRS variable is to set additional directories (instead of only the app ones) that Django will be collect static files and put inside the STATIC_ROOT directory when you run the collectstatic process.
You're getting this error because you're trying to run a collectstatic and it's not finding the directory defines on your STATICFILES_DIRS variable:
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
You can create this directory and put some additional static files that you want to collect in there but you also should set you STATIC_ROOT variable which will be the directory your server is going to use to server the static files on your application.

Problem on adding Django app to installed apps and can't migrate

I'm trying to use visual studio for my Django project. My visual studio version is 2017, my Python version is 3.6 and my Django version at the beginning is 1.1.18.
Then I upgrade it to 2.1.5. I make an app then add it to installed apps. But when I migrate the project get this error:

Saeed

Edit: It looks like you've renamed your main/base app (the one that contains settings.py) from Test4 to saeed. You do not need to register the base application in a Django project since it is already the entry-point for the program. It looks like the rest of your settings.py file is configured for the base app being called Test4 rather than saeed (you can tell because of ROOT_URLCONF = 'Test4.urls', for example). You can read more about projects and applications in Django here.
Since it's common practice to have your base app share the same name as your project I'd recommend changing the name of the saeed directory (back) to Test4.
If you want to create a new app you can run:
python manage.py startapp saeed
So your project file structure will look something like this:
Test4/ # project directory
saeed/ # your app
migrations/
models.py
apps.py
Test4/ # base app for the site
settings.py
urls.py
manage.py
requirements.txt
Then put your models in saeed instead of Test4. So your project directory Test4/, will contain Test4/, saeed/, and manage.py, among other things. After you create this new app, the following will work:
Original Answer:
Make sure your saeed/apps.py is configured properly, for example:
# saeed/apps.py
from django.apps import AppConfig
class SaeedConfig(AppConfig):
name = "saeed"
verbose_name = "Saeed"
Then you'll want to change that line in INSTALLED_APPS in settings from just "saeed" to
"saeed.apps.SaeedConfig"
See the docs on configuring applications for more on this.

I think, it is the incorrect file location hierarchy.
Should be so, for example.
project
mysite
settings.py
...
saeed
makemigrations
models.py
apps.py
...
manage.py

I don't understand why it's giving this error. It doesn't work with just python manage.py collectstatic either, which gives me an error as follows: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path. I've specified the path to the static root mynotes/static and it has been set up to collect all the static files there. I don't understand why it's telling me that no such directory exists. Another thing that confuses me too is the line:
/app/mynotes/staticfiles/
I don't have a directory called staticfiles so I'm not sure how this got here. I typed static in my STATIC_ROOT so I'm not sure why it comes out as staticfiles. Is this something to worry about or is this some default thing? Could it be because I changed the code from the last time I deployed it (which was when DEBUG=True) but it hasn't updated? I tried making an empty directory called staticfiles, but it still gives me the same error.
I'm kind of new to Django and any kind of help is greatly appreciated! P.S. I have thoroughly read the docs but I did not get anything useful out of it.
EDIT
I got heroku run python manage.py collectstatic to work. I figured out why staticfiles was there (just had to re-deploy it). But, my JPG/PNG images and CSS are still not appearing in my website after deployment. This is specifically only when DEBUG = False (it works when True). Plus, python manage.py collectstatic still gives the same error, though I'm not sure if it matters?

I have tried surfing the error but in vain. My same code is working fine in other machine.

Open up a python shell by running python manage.py shell in your project directory.
Run the following commands one at a time in the python shell:
>>> from corsheaders.middleware import CorsMiddleware
>>> from oauth2_provider.middleware import OAuth2TokenMiddleware
>>> from django.contrib.auth.middleware import SessionAuthenticationMiddleware
One of the lines should give you an error like the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named middleware
The line that gives you that error is the missing module that is giving you the problem.
To find the path where the modules are searched, do
>>> import sys; sys.path
Alternatively, if you don't know how to use the python shell, you could just remove the following lines in your settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES one at a time until you don't get that error anymore:
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware',
'oauth2_provider.middleware.OAuth2TokenMiddleware',
Just reinstall the package that gave you the error.
django.contrib.auth.middleware -> django
corsheaders.middleware -> corsheaders
oauth2_provider.middleware -> oauth2_provider

Make sure that you have all of the supporting packages installed where they can be found. I've run into problems where there are multiple Python interpreters installed, and was inadvertently running Django with one interpreter while installing packages with another. The other thing I would verify is that you have the same versions of the packages on both machines. Pay close attention to corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware and oauth2_provider.middleware.OAuth2TokenMiddleware since they are not part of Django.

For my situation i did the following:
Inspect the settings.py file
Check on the middleware section for any part that could have been deleted ,accidentally and rectify.
For my case the following had been deleted:
django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware

using Tinymce for django error.

I am trying to use TinyMCE Editor in django for textarea. I followed the instructions given on django-tinymce.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage.html#python-code which give me a error

You don't seem to have installed flatpages app. Also flatpages app depends in sites framework Follow the steps in the documentation to get it right:
--- excerpts --
To install the flatpages app, follow these steps:
Install the sites framework by adding 'django.contrib.sites' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting, if it’s not already in there.
Also make sure you’ve correctly set SITE_ID to the ID of the site the settings file represents. This will usually be 1 (i.e. SITE_ID = 1, but if you’re using the sites framework to manage multiple sites, it could be the ID of a different site.
