I am trying to deploy my Django project using Ubuntu and apache webserver. When I transferred my project to the Ubuntu web server and tested it in development, everything went fine. However when changed to production, I experienced file not found problem and I suspect this problem is related to my setings.py, but I am unable to troubleshoot it further. The error I see in production when accessing my site is:

My settings.py is as below and I have pointed my STATIC_ROOT to productionStatic folder. This is the folder where collectstatic has transferred the static files from my static folder to productionStatic. I am not sure why this is necessary as I can only read from Django's documentation that the files should be copied over in production.

In my apache2 settings I have the below code where I have pointed the static alias to the folder in productionStatic. What have I missed?
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to

It is as commented by Ivan Starostin that one should give the absolute path in to the file in the production environment. Also using reverse url can also work in this case as suggested in the comment.
