Intro: I have made my application in Django I am trying to get my static and media files hosted in aws s3. My Django project is on AWS Lambda and AWS Api gateway using Zappa. below is my settings.py
AWS_DEFAULT_ACL = None
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'aws_storage_classes.MediaStorage'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.getenv("ACCESS_KEY")
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.getenv("ACCESS_SECRET_KEY")
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = os.getenv("AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME")
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'aws_storage_classes.StaticStorage'
AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = {
'CacheControl': 'max-age=86400',
}
AWS_S3_DOMAIN = "%s.s3.amazonaws.com" % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
STATIC_URL = 'https://%s.static/' % AWS_S3_DOMAIN
MEDIA_URL = 'https://%s.media/' % AWS_S3_DOMAIN
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
I then created a file in my project folder the same as my manage.py called aws_storage_classes.py
Below are the contents of my file aws_storage_classes.py
from storages.backends.s3boto3 import S3Boto3Storage
class StaticStorage(S3Boto3Storage):
location = 'static'
class MediaStorage(S3Boto3Storage):
location = 'media'
Below are my urls
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Also in my settings.py
DEBUG = False
When I do python manage.py collectstatic all the staticfiles are downloaded and I don't get any errors. But when go on admin page the static files are not uploaded. See images below
Below is the image of my S3 bucket
Below is what is inside the static folder

Static files not loading

Updated settings.py
AWS_DEFAULT_ACL = None
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'aws_storage_classes.MediaStorage'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.getenv("ACCESS_KEY")
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.getenv("ACCESS_SECRET_KEY")
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = os.getenv("AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME")
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'aws_storage_classes.StaticStorage'
AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = {
'CacheControl': 'max-age=86400',
}
AWS_S3_DOMAIN = "%s.s3.amazonaws.com" % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
STATIC_URL = 'https://%s.static/' % AWS_S3_DOMAIN
MEDIA_URL = 'https://%s.media/' % AWS_S3_DOMAIN
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = STATIC_URL + 'admin/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
Below is the link after adding ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = STATIC_URL + 'admin/'
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://django-static-media.s3.amazonaws.com/static/style.css?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAGGGGGGGGGMHIFQ&Signature=6gFQTsOSDFSDFA%3D&x-amz-security-token=FQoGZvwbJhd9amp;Expires=1549168642">
Still staticfiles not loading
I have given my user full s3 access so I don't think I should need the below. Also I was able to successfully add the static files in the S3 and it is not giving me any permission related errors. still trying it out as per a suggestions below
Below are my permissions I tried to give permission to lambda function but it gives me the bellow error


After changing the static and media URLS

I can see STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL not setup correctly.
change
STATIC_URL = 'https://%s.static/' % AWS_S3_DOMAIN
MEDIA_URL = 'https://%s.media/' % AWS_S3_DOMAIN
To
STATIC_URL = 'https://%s/static/' % AWS_S3_DOMAIN
MEDIA_URL = 'https://%s/media/' % AWS_S3_DOMAIN
It should work.
