Trying to run Nginx with Ubuntu / Python /Django only results in 404 error

Nginx

Hi, I have set up Ubuntu, Python3.7, Django3.0.2 and Postgres as per the DigitalOcean tutorial on a DigitalOcean server. Gunicorn works and the Nginx server loads but only gets a 404 error from the browser. Has anyone had this error and fixed it, or is there a tutorial I can refer to. I’m new to Nginx. Thanks

Hi @peterdp,

It seems you haven’t configured your server blocks in Nginx properly. DigitalOcean have a pretty good tutorial how to do that. You can check that here :

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-nginx-server-blocks-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04

Additionally, there is another article which can help you with your problem. It’s about configuring Django with Nginx. You can view that here as well

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-uwsgi-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04

If you experience issues with your application after you’ve checked both articles. Please post your Nginx virtual file for your domain here.

    Hi - thanks for the help!
    Went through the second tutorial (had to do a bit of updating to use systemctl rather than .service) but gor both nginx and uwsgi running. Using the python localhost the page and admin page are fine, but the nginx/uwsgi set up results in a 404 error again. Which is the Nginx virtual file you refer to?

    Best regards

      Hi @peterdp,

      The Nginx virtual file I meant is the domain configuration located here

      /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com

      Ofcourse, please remember to change example.com with your actual domain.

      You’ll need to add the configuration there.
