Help needed setting up nginx to serve static files.
- by Catalina
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to setup nginx to serve static files. Basically all I need is to have http://mydomain.com/site_media/ point to /var/django/myproject/site_media.
I have tried so many configurations and when I test it I always get a 404 error for static files.
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or how I should be setting this up?
This is my current nginx configuration file.
user www-data;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/error.log;
#pid /usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
use epoll;
}
http {
# Enumerate all the Tornado servers here
upstream frontends {
server 127.0.0.1:8000;
server 127.0.0.1:8001;
server 127.0.0.1:8002;
server 127.0.0.1:8003;
}
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
#access_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/access.log;
keepalive_timeout 65;
proxy_read_timeout 200;

tcp_nodelay on;

proxy_next_upstream error;

client_max_body_size 50M;
location ^~ /site_media/ {
root /var/django/myproject/site_media;
if ($query_string) {
expires max;
}
}
location = /favicon.ico {
rewrite (.*) /site_media/favicon.ico;
}
location = /robots.txt {
rewrite (.*) /site_media/robots.txt;
}
location / {
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_pass http://frontends;
}
}
#include /usr/local/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
Thanks,
Cata
