Django Tailwind not working on DEBUG = False
Hi guys,
I'm having an annoyng issue, i had deployed my django app in to a server, then i changed from DEBUG = True to DEBUG = False in the settings.py file, And magically no styles load at my app. The issue is that my web app is now displaying pure html without any style. And this only happens when i set the DEBUG = False config.
I already tried:
- Running an older version of my project.
- Tried with multiple execution ports and urls.
- I tried also locally and the same happens.
Nothing is working to solve this issue, and the terminal log doesnt show any error.
python3 manage.py tailwind start
> [email protected] start
> npm run dev
> [email protected] dev
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development tailwindcss --postcss -i ./src/styles.css -o ../static/css/dist/styles.css -w

This is how my webpage looks:
Django doesn't serve static files in production mode (DEBUG = False) so you need to serve them yourself.
To do it you need either a webserver like Nginx/Apache have them server the /static/ folder and proxy the remaining to django or use whitenoise to serve your static css file.
