                urls.py
                views.py
         myapis
              .....
Settings.py
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/jisson/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis/
teststaticfiles/'
 STATIC_URL = '/static/'

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
"django.core.context_processors.media",
"django.core.context_processors.static",
)

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (

Answer 1

Look closely, Apache tries to load files from /home/jisson/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis/staticjs, not /home/jisson/Desktop/testcloud.aws/DjangoApis/static/js like you wanted.

If files are correctly collected by collectstatic command (they appear in STATIC_ROOT directory after running that command), then problem is not in Django side, but rather in Apache, so you should check your Apache configuration files.
