django : Serving static files through nginx
- by PlanetUnknown
I'm using apache+mod_wsgi for django.
And all css/js/images are served through nginx.
For some odd, reason when others/friends/colleagues try accessing the site, jquery/css is not getting loaded for them, hence the page looks jumbled up.
My html files use code like this -
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://x.x.x.x:8000/css/custom.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://1x.x.x.x:8000/js/custom.js"></script>
My nginx configuration in sites-available is like this -
server {
listen 8000;
server_name localhost;
access_log /var/log/nginx/aa8000.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/aa8000.error.log;
location / {
index index.html index.htm;
}
location /static/ {
autoindex on;
root /opt/aa/webroot/;
}
}
There is a directory /opt/aa/webroot/static/ which have corresponding css & js directories.
The odd thing is that the pages show fine when I access them.
I have cleared my cache/etc, but the page loads fine for me, from various browsers.
Also, I don't see any 404 any error in the nginx log files. Actually the logs for nginx are not getting refreshed at all.
I restarted the nginx server using root, is that incorrect ? There is a user www-data defined in the nginx configuration file.
Any pointers would be great.
