Hello!
I have deployed a Django web application with GUNICORN, NGINX, and ubuntu 18.04. But my static files are not loading.
My nginx configuration:
server {
listen [::]:80;
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
# redirect http to https www
return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name www.example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
root /root/exampledir;
# redirect https non-www to https www
return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
location = /favicon.ico {
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
location /static {
autoindex on;
alias /root/exampledir; # django app static file
# root /root/exampledir/static/;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_redirect off;
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://www.example.com";
add_header Referrer-Policy "origin-when-cross-origin" always;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload";
}
}
and static file settings in django:
STATIC_URL = '/static
# STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')
STATIC_ROOT = '/root/exampledir '

Did you run
python manage.py collectstatic
in the server? (the only place it’s necessary)?
