Django admin not serving static files on Apache

I've seen similar questions but they are more than 4 years old and the answers doesn't work anymore. I have a site that works correctly on Apache, except for the admin staticfiles. The staticfiles work fine with Django's runserver. I'm kind of lost here, any advice will help.

When you serve static files using apache, static folder is supposed to be in your /var/www/html directory. I had gone through same scenario as yours. collectstatic didnt work for me. What I did was, copied static contents of admin app to /var/www/html/static/admin. This admin directory contains four other directories css, fonts, img and js. In my case apache setup was the default so /var/www/html was my public directory. Following can be used for reference.

server
    |
    -var
       | 
        -www
            |
             -html
                  |
                  - static
                         |
                         -admin
                               |-css
                               |-fonts
                               |-img
                               |-js

You can try aforementioned approach. It would be helpful if you let know issue is resolved.

Check the following things

1)Did you add STATIC_ROOT in settings file?

2)After activating the virtual environment(if any), did you run

python manage.py collectstatic
