Windows error 267, the directory name is invalid.

Asked By Edith J Tucker 80 points N/A Posted on - 12/30/2014

I want to gather the static files installed on disk F: and not on hard drive disk C:. I am using the Django Stack software by Bitnami. The static files need to be compressed and stored in one location. I am running the command on python as manage.py collectstatic –traceback. But I get the error that the directory name is invalid with an error code 267. Is my command wrong? Is this a problem with my Windows 7? Kindly guide.

Hello Edith J Tucker,  There may be problem in your window registry. The command is alright. You may do one thing that instead of using project path you should use the  directory path. Also run the Command prompt rather than python. You should go for Command prompt as it stimulates the .exe files synchronized.
