nginx+django+uwsgi static files 403 Forbidden - django

Question

Hi~ I'm deploying a website in CentOS 6.5. The framework is django1.7. I use nginx and uwsgi.
The website is now available except 403 Forbidden for all static files.
I have googled a few hours, and have changed the whole site folder as chmod 777. The owner of folder is kltc, and user in nginx.conf is also kltc.
I have no idea why the problem is still Permission denied.
nginx.conf
user kltc;
worker_processes 1;
kuaileticao.miyayx.me
server {
# the port your site will be served on
listen 80;
# the domain name it will serve for
server_name kuaileticao.miyayx.me; # substitute your machine's IP address or FQDN
charset utf-8;
access_log /srv/www/nginx/kuaileticao.miyayx.me/access.log;
error_log /srv/www/nginx/kuaileticao.miyayx.me/error.log;
location /static {
autoindex on;
alias /home/kltc/Project/sunny_sports/sunny_sports/static;
}
# Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
location / {
uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8001;
include uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi_params file you installed
}
}
uwsgi.ini
[uwsgi]

chdir=/home/kltc/Project/sunny_sports
# Django's wsgi file
module=sunny_sports.wsgi:application

# the socket (use the full path to be safe

I have tried several methods. Such as, change the nginx.conf user to root. But none of them worked.
Hope for your help. Thank you!

Answer 1

Make sure that you chown parent directory of your project (/home) to be readable by the nginx worker.
chown -R kltc:kltc /home
chmod -R ug+r /home

Answer 2

Make sure that you have the STATIC_ROOT declared in your settings file.
Also, try running python manage.py collectstatic --noinputbefore running the server.
Hope that works!
