Collectstatic failed with pa_autoconfigure_django.py : Forums : PythonAnywhere

Collectstatic failed with pa_autoconfigure_django.py

I am using pythonanywhere for the first time. I want to deploy one django app. The required versions are django>=2.0 and python>=3.6. I am using the following commands:

pip3.6 install --user pythonanywhere

then,

pa_autoconfigure_django.py https://github.com/DEBADRIBASAK/MyFirstBlog.git --nuke

(I am using --nuke because there was a web-app previously and I wanted to remove it) It is collecting the required packages and it is failing at the collectstatic step:

Can anyone give any solution?

what happens if you just run a collect static on your django app yourself?

It is working properly when I use collectstatic on my cmd. But in this bash console of pythonanywhere it is not working.

I think Conrad meant, what happens if you try to run collectstatic in a bash console on PythonAnywhere:

Start up a bash console
Run workon ricky123.pythonanywhere.com to enter your virtualenv
cd /home/ricky123/ricky123.pythonanywhere.com to go to the directory containing your Django code
python manage.py collectstatic to run it.

Hopefully that will print out a more useful error message that we can use to debug the problem.

In pythonanywhere bash also it is working properly!

Cool

i am having the same idiotic issue.

deleted-user-7514971 | 1 post | April 29, 2020, 10:57 a.m. | permalink

have you tried the steps that giles outlined?

conrad | 4232 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | April 29, 2020, 2:19 p.m. | permalink

Same issue here.

Have you applied the solution provided by Giles above?

If you previously signed up for a PythonAnywhere account and had an error with collectstatic, you probably have an older version of SQLite (eg 3.8.2) for your account. In that case, sign up for a new account and try the commands in the PythonAnywhere section above.

yup- or you could also change your system image from your account settings. moving yourself to the newest system image will also do the same thing as setting up a new account.

I keep getting 'name' not defined too at the end of output.
