Why does DEBUG False setting make my django Static Files Access fail

Question

Generally, once I set DEBUG = False, all views will load, but any linked content (CSS, Javascript, Images, etc) wont load! What's happening? Is there something am missing, concerning static files and the DEBUG setting?

Hello @kartik,

If you still need to server static locally (e.g. for testing without debug) you can run devserver in insecure mode:

manage.py runserver --insecure

Hope this helps!!
Thank you!!
