Heya,
Your Nginx configuration has a small issue. The root
directive sets the root directory for the request but does not append the /static/
part correctly. Instead, you should use the alias
directive or adjust the root
path.
Modify your Nginx configuration like this:
location /static/ {
alias /root/myprojectdir/static/;
}
alias
replaces /static/
with /root/myprojectdir/static/
, ensuring that requests like /static/css/style.css
correctly map to /root/myprojectdir/static/css/style.css
.Alternatively, if you prefer root
, modify it like this:
location /static/ {
root /root/myprojectdir/static;
}
