Setting up nginx as proxy to apache; All good, but nginx doesn't serve media
- by becomingGuru
I have set it up such that nginx proxies request and sends django requests to apache and serves media itself.
Following documents my setup:
Nginx Configuration: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
user www-data;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
tcp_nodelay on;
gzip on;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

ngnix proxy /etc/nginx/proxy.conf
============
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
===========
Nginx server file: /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/some-name.txt
==========
server {
listen 208.109.252.110:80;
server_name netconf;
autoindex on;
access_log /home/site/server_logs/nginx_access.log;
error_log /home/site/server_logs/nginx_error.log;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80/;
include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
}
location /site_media/ {
root /home/site/folder/static;
}
}
==========
Nginx very well proxies the request and passes to apache, the required requests, but doesn't serve the media. In the last server file, location site_media is not served, at all. :(
Everything seems perfect to me. What is wrong?
Thanks in advance.
