I am actually not sure if the title of the topic is actually the source of my issue but there are serious indications for this. I am not an expert in application servers such as apache so any help is most welcome.

I have installed successfully a Django application in a google cloud VM machine (Ubuntu 16.04 with static IP). I am able to access the page but there is no CSS loaded, missing javascript files (e.g. jquery) and several 500 Internal Server Errors.

To give a better idea of the errors, I attach a screenshot

The first think I thought is that I have not put the static files in the correct folder for the application server (www/../). But that was not the case.

Then I thought maybe the www folder doesn't have the right permissions. But that wasn't not the case. The user was set correct to: www-data.

My sites-enabled folder of apache2 include my project.conf file.

Then I tried to run this command:

 /usr/sbin/apache2 -S

and I got that back:

VirtualHost configuration:
*:80 localhost (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/geonode.conf:3)
ServerRoot: "/etc/apache2"
Main DocumentRoot: "/var/www/html"
Main ErrorLog: "/var/log/apache2/error.log"
Mutex proxy: using_defaults
Mutex default: dir="/var/lock/apache2" mechanism=fcntl 
Mutex watchdog-callback: using_defaults
PidFile: "/var/run/apache2/apache2.pid"
Define: DUMP_VHOSTS
Define: DUMP_RUN_CFG
User: name="www-data" id=33 not_used
Group: name="www-data" id=33 not_used

As you can see the Main DocumentRoot is in the following folder: "/var/www/html" I was wondering if this could be the reason. Somehow apache is trying to read files from the wrong directory (correct one /var/www/project).

I tried to change the Main DocumentRoot by modifying the parameters in the apache.conf file but whenever I test the changes (/usr/sbin/apache2 -S) I still get the old directory.

I am not even sure that this could be the issue. Any ideas what is going on here?

Note1: I have tried the installation in a local VM and works fine Note2: I have tried in another remote VM and I get the same issue. EDIT

This is the apache error.log file:

This is how my configuration file in sites-enabled folder looks like:
