nginx+django serving static files
- by avalore
I have followed instruction for setting up django with nginx from the django wiki (https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoAndNginx) and have nginx setup as follows (a few name changes to fit my setup).
user nginx nginx;
worker_processes 2;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error_log info;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
use epoll;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main
'$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
'"$request" $status $bytes_sent '
'"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" '
'"$gzip_ratio"';
client_header_timeout 10m;
client_body_timeout 10m;
send_timeout 10m;
connection_pool_size 256;
client_header_buffer_size 1k;
large_client_header_buffers 4 2k;
request_pool_size 4k;
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1100;
gzip_buffers 4 8k;
gzip_types text/plain;
output_buffers 1 32k;
postpone_output 1460;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 75 20;
ignore_invalid_headers on;
index index.html;
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location /static/ {
root /srv/static/;
}
location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js|mov) {
access_log off;
expires 30d;
}
location / {
# host and port to fastcgi server
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_pass_header Authorization;
fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access_log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.error_log;
}
}
Static files aren't being served (nginx 404). If I look in the access log it seems nginx is looking in /etc/nginx/html/static... rather than /srv/static/ as specified in the config.
I've no clue why it's doing this, any help would be hugely appreciated.
