Django static files in live server using nginx - django

Question

I have a live server running django, the address is http://179.188.3.54/ . As you can see, the app works but looks like the static files arent working. Also if I click in any other link, doesnt work.
This website is running without any problems in development version. Im not sure what I should do to fix this problem.
Here is my nginx config file and my settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = '/cinegloria/cinegloria/cinegloria/static/'
PS: I tried to run collectstatic ;)
server {
root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.html index.htm;
access_log /var/log/nginx/domain-access.log;
server_name 0.0.0.0;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_connect_timeout 10;
proxy_read_timeout 10;
proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8000/;
}
}
Any ideas or sample code will be appreciated!

Answer 1

Add the static serving to the nginx conf before the / pattern:
location /static {
alias /cinegloria/cinegloria/cinegloria/static/;
}
location / {
...
}
Or set the STATIC_ROOT to the directory under the www root:
STATIC_ROOT = '/usr/share/nginx/www/static'
Or add the symlink from www root to you static dir:
$ ln -s /cinegloria/cinegloria/cinegloria/static /usr/share/nginx/www/static

Answer 2

Add another nginx directive for the static files. Static files should be served by nginx, not the Django server.
location /static/ {
alias /cinegloria/cinegloria/cinegloria/static/;
}
If that still doesn't work, you may need to add the mime type directive. I had to do that yesterday, because for some reason nginx wasn't serving the correct mime type when I used an alias.
As a helpful pointer, whenever you run into problems like this, take a look at your nginx error log and paste the last few lines for debugging. It is located at /var/log/nginx/error.log or a similar path.
