Hi everyone, so I took over someone’s project and I am supposed to deploy it on a new server. We have an Nginx server that is supposed to be handling a Django application static media files but I keep getting a 404 not found error here is the Nginx.conf file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
server_name localhost;

@mjnicholson @AlexeiRamone so this is an example of a file I’am trying to access: https://ace-concordia.com/media/protected/2020/Aly_Gasser_40135687/transcript/9c0be77746d84dceaec44dc2e5b64b07/Sample.pdf
I went inside the Nginx container to this directory:/media/protected/2020/Aly_Gasser_40135687/transcript/9c0be77746d84dceaec44dc2e5b64b07
and the file is actually there! Nginx is just not getting it for some reason, the error logs have nothing on this but the access logs show it and that it gets 404 answer
Thanks, folks your help is really appreciated!
Your alias
statements could be wrong in location
branches. Point those to full pathes.
location /media {
add_header Cache-Control "public, stale-if-error=144000";
expires 30d;
alias /mnt/volume_nyc3_whatever/whatever/media;
}
@mjnicholson yes I did, this is supposed to be automated in “command” in the production.yml file here:
Thank you for replying, I appreciate it!
Have you run
collectstatic
for the Django project?
