media files aren't serving in django app on cpanel
To deploy a production server, you need to set 3 things
deactivate the DEBUG configuration:
DEBUG = False <------
This disable all extra function for development.
define a static root directory in the settings file:
STATIC_ROOT = '/this/is/a/path/to/statics' <---------
This, indicate where all the static files should be saved.
run the command to collect all static files:
python manage.py collectstatic <-------
This saves all statics files in the directory configured by STATIC_ROOT
