umap collectstatic gives "No such file or directory" error
As I have very little knowledge about Linux, pretty much all I can do is copy and paste things from a good tutorial and in most cases simply hope nothing goes wrong. I really tried finding a solution on my own and searching the internet but to no avail (I found a number of quite similar things but no solution I understood enough to be able to adapt it on my own to fix my problem).
I've installed an osm tile server using this amazing tutorial and it works like a charm. Now I want to install umap, using this tutorial.
Everything works fine until I get to the line "umap collectstatic". The error I get is this:
(venv) $ sudo umap collectstatic

Now, I get the something might be wrong with a setting in a config file somewhere, but changing the directory in local.py doesn't seem to do anything (like I have set it to STATIC_ROOT = '/home/xxx_myusername_xxx/umap/var/static') - I have no idea where this "/home/ybon/Code/..." path even comes from! What settings ?
I sure didn't specify THIS path anywhere! And the folder is indeed nowhere to be found on my machine. Maybe using virtualenv is somehow generating it, and I can't find it on my machine because it IS virtual (as in "not really there physically") but this is just a very wild guess and I don't really know what I'm talking about.
(I tried running the command with and without sudo and it doesn't change anything).
I have always wanted to install a tile server and have tried the tutorials you have given today. So I'm a learner like you!
Installing the Tile Server with the tutorial https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-server/openstreetmap-tile-server-ubuntu-16-04 was really straightforward. I only used the part for Rhineland Palatinate.
With Umap (https://umap-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ubuntu/#tutorial) I had some problems. 1. A port was used twice. I changed the port for Apache. 2. After creating the local configuration (wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/umap-project/umap/master/umap/settings/local.py.sample -O /etc/umap/umap.conf) this file was not immediately recognized. I helped myself by changing the file before executing the command "umap migrate". I have made the following changes:
# For static deployment
STATIC_ROOT = '/etc/umap/var/static'
# For users' statics (geojson mainly)
MEDIA_ROOT = '/etc/umap/umap/var/data'
# Umap Settings
UMAP_SETTINGS='/etc/umap/umap.conf'
STATIC_ROOT und MEDIA_ROOT I have changed, because so the user umap has all permissions. Then I set the envirement variable UMAP_SETTINGS because otherwise the settings file /etc/umap/umap.conf is not found.
( I also have no idea where this "/home/ybon/Code/..." path comes from. After the configuration file is properly loaded, the path is loaded from the configuration file. That's why that's not important anymore. )
Now I could use the following commands without errors:
(venv) $ umap collectstatic
Loaded local config from /etc/umap/umap.conf

And finally I was able to use umap.
