24683	STATIC_ROOT needs to appear after INSTALLED_APPS	SbSpider	nobody	"Hi
I was working on a django website, and came across the following issue:

If the STATIC_ROOT defintion in settings.py towards the top of the file, it seems that
python manage.py collectstatic
will not be able to detect it. However, if it is declared after the INSTALLED_APPS, it works fine.

I am not sure whether this is intentional or not, but it does not seem to be documented, and therefore I believe should be brought to attention as either a documentation issue or a bug."	Bug	closed	contrib.staticfiles	1.7	Normal	worksforme	documentation, staticfiles, static		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
