I've been trying for about a whole day to deploy Django's static files in production, but till now I had no luck, so I absolutely need community's help!
My nginx config is:
worker_processes 1;
user nobody nogroup;
pid /tmp/nginx.pid;
error_log /tmp/nginx.error.log;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
accept_mutex off;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
access_log /tmp/nginx.access.log combined;
sendfile on;
upstream app_server {
server unix:/tmp/gunicorn.sock fail_timeout=0;
# For a TCP configuration:
# server 192.168.0.7:8000 fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
listen 80 default;
client_max_body_size 4G;
server_name _;
keepalive_timeout 5;
# path for static files
root /home/ubuntu/src/static;
location / {
# checks for static file, if not found proxy to app
try_files $uri @proxy_to_app;
}
location @proxy_to_app {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://app_server;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
location = /500.html {
root /home/ubuntu/src/static;
}
}
}
and in my django settings.py file I've set the following:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = ()
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
and of course I've run the collectstatic
django command and the folder in path /home/ubuntu/src/static
exists containing all appropriate files.
Still my deployment does not server any static file :/
Does anybody have any idea what might be wrong with my setup?
Thank you in advance
I used a great tutorial here for my setup. Hopefully this can help. One obvious change I can see is using
location /static/
for static files and just forwardinglocation /
straight to gunicorn (or uwsgi in my case)
