I’ve wasted 2 entire days without any help on this issue. I followed this guide and have started my application on Digital Ocean. It’s a djago app. The issue is, it is not loading any static file! My nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/webapp_name file looks like this:
server {
server_name domainname.com;
access_log off;
location /static/ {
root /opt/bizkeeda;
}
My static files are in folder: /opt/appname/static/
My settings.py file looks like this:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIR = '/opt/appname/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = '/opt/appname/static/'
I also tried changing STATIC_ROOT to /opt/appname
On checking url of static files on website, it is: www.domain.com:8001/static/js/abc.js
All 404 errors! What should I do?

'location /static/ ’ part at sites-available and STATIC_ROOT at settings.py should be same. For example:
location /static/ {
alias /opt/appname/static/;
}
STATIC_ROOT = '/opt/appname/static/'
after that run:
python manage.py collectstatic
Have you run python manage.py collectstatic
after uploading the app? Can you check if there are any errors in nginx’s error log?
sudo tail -30 /var/log/nginx/error.log
You have to restart the gunicorn also you have to restart the nginx after you update the nginx configuration.
sudo service gunicorn restart **sudo service nginx restart **

Hey Shekhar,
Did you find the solution to this, I am also facing the similar issue for my python flask application. It would be very helpful if you could share the solution that worked for you.

Look at your Access and Error Logs , in location = /var/log/nginx Within which the string to look for is = failed (13: Permission denied) If this exists then its a Permission issue - otherwise follow the usual advise as given in other comments here .
