Django collectstatic not does not find admin media content

Question

Im running a Django 1.8.2 project on Ubunutu with Virtualenv and Gunicorn etc. For some reason collectstatic does not get the admin media, but it does work on my local dev environment on osx.

Im not sure where the problem comes from? Is it the settings? But why then does it work on osx and not on my Ubuntu server?

Here is my settings:

import os


BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))


SECRET_KEY = '123'

# SECURITY WARNING: don't run with debug turned on in production!
