Hi I am trying to serve statics using Django and Nginx on a VPS to get my project live. My settings.py includes following.
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
STATIC_URL = '/static/
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'static')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'media')
My project folder includes: static ----static ----media ----templates
In Nginx I got following:
upstream gunicorn_server {
# fail_timeout=0 means we always retry an upstream even if it failed
# to return a good HTTP response (in case the Unicorn master nukes a
# single worker for timing out).
server 127.0.0.1:9000 fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
keepalive_timeout 5;
client_max_body_size 4G;
access_log /home/projectuser/logs/nginx-access.log;
error_log /home/projectuser/logs/nginx-error.log;
location /static/ {
alias /venv/project/static/static;
}
location /media/ {
alias /venv/project/static/media;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_pass http://gunicorn_server;
break;
}
}
}
I can’t serve static no matter what and admin panel css is not showing up.
Please advise asap.

I had the same issue, my css was working for my actual site but not the admin page. To solve this follow the steps:
It should sort it out.
The problem is caused because it is looking for the static files of admin in the wrong place - so just put those files where its looking for it.
