HTTP 404 on static assets from django

[DerekSedlmyer]

When deploying StoryScapes, an HTTP 404 is returned for all non-composer static assets. Static assets were configured properly inside django as tested with:

python manage.py findstatic vendor/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css

When trying to access static assets through the Storyscapes URL or via http://django:8000 inside containers, an HTTP 404 is returned.

After some research, setting DEBUG=True solves this issue temporarily. Static files are not served via django unless DEBUG=True.

• https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/
• https://github.com/django/django/blob/83c7096f2a84450957615ef52ffed0bee5f72606/django/contrib/staticfiles/views.py#L30

Recent changes to NGINX to proxy non-composer static assets to django looks to be the culprit.

The Storyscapes BOSH release has temporarily added DEBUG=True to workaround this issue.
