Hi there @ajayaallen,

The way that you have this setup means that your static files should be located at /home/ajay/my_site/staticfiles/static/. The location part gets appended to the root path.

If your static files are stored at the /home/ajay/my_site/staticfiles/ directory directly. What you could do is to rename the folder to /home/ajay/my_site/static/ and then update your location to:

    location /static/ {
        root /home/ajay/my_site/;
    }

For more information, you could take a look that the official documentation here.

Hope that this helps.
Regards,
Bobby
