How can I serve my static and media files?
I place my static and media file on my root dir,
below is my setting.py config:
STATIC_URL = "/static/"
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = "/media/"
'''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
'''
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'media'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

Hi there,
I believe that you also need to specify the following in your Nginx server block:
location /static/ {
root /home/sammy/myproject;
}
That way the static files will be available at your_site.com/static.
You would also need to do the same for your media folder.
