Django does not render static files that are in subfolders within /Static/

Question

I am working on a Django project that has static files (css/js/imgs) according to the following structure:

File Structure

django_project
    |
    +apps
    |
    +django_project
        |
        +media
        |
        +static
            |
            +admin (múltiplas pastas e subpastas, PROBLEMA)
            |
            +css (apenas arquivos, sem problemas)
            |
            +imgs (apenas arquivos, sem problemas)
            |
            js (apenas arquivos, sem problemas)

When in development, the files work very well, all. However, in production, I am having trouble rendering the files that are inside the admin folder (and its subfolders). When I see the google inspector Chrome, I see that returns an error 404 for these files.

I do not know what is happening, but I imagine it is something related to the urlpatterns.

Follow my files Settings.py and urls.py:

Static purchases are only automatically served by Django himself in the development environment.

In the production environment, you must configure your front-end web server to serve the static files automatically, without going through Django and other applications related to the Python environment (such as WSGI servers).

There are several ways to do this - from directly configuring the folder static from your project to be served at a specific URL (which must be the same relative URL that worked in the development environment), to a script to copy the static files to another server, from where they will be served.

Here’s Django’s official documentation on this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/static-files/deployment/
