Hi Johnf, Subject: Nginx + Gunicorn + Django Example
For a website using Nginx + Gunicorn + Django, try using STATIC_ROOT along with the following settings. If you login as user z, then usually your web project would be set up in a path like /home/z/pesweb/ Note: The folder, pes_django1.11, seems out of place. Is it your virtual environment? Usually your virtual environment would be in a path like /home/z/pesweb/web_env/ Your specific folder setup affects your gunicorn and nginx definitions (see below). # If your website can be browsed at http://www.pesweb.com and # your static files are browser-accessible at # http://www.pesweb.com/static/ then your STATIC URL is /static/ STATIC_URL = '/static/' # If you choose to keep the out-of-place folder, pes_django1.11, then # STATIC_ROOT = '/home/z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/static/' This is not # recommended since it seems to complicate things without any advantage. # # Absolute path to the directory static files should be collected to. STATIC_ROOT = '/home/z/pesweb/static/' And, your nginx definition might be like the following one: server { listen 80; server_name pesweb.com www.pesweb.com; # Give a blank page if browsing the IP. root /var/www/html; # Only static files need to be browser-accessible. location /static/ { root /home/z/pesweb try_files $uri $uri/ =404; } } And, your gunicorn definition might be like the following one: [Unit] Description=gunicorn-pesweb daemon After=network.target [Service] User=z Group=www-data WorkingDirectory=/home/z/pesweb ExecStart=/home/z/pesweb/web_env/bin/gunicorn --bind unix:/home/z/pesweb/pesweb.sock pesweb.wsgi:application [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Hope this helps!

But I can seem to get the correct path working to allow the website to find the correct files in my Media,CSS and JS folders. I'm using 1.11.x and have the following setup in OS file system. I have set DEBUG = True /z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/ is where my manage.py is located - it runs just fine. my files are in /z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/static/static/css/ - this of course is for CSS /z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/static/static/js/ -this of course is for JS /z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/static/static/img/ -this of course is for images like favicon.ico In my settings.py file I have tried many combinations such as: STATIC_URL = '/pesweb/static/static/' STATIC_URL = '/static/static/' STATIC_URL = '/pesweb/static/' So would some kind soul please tell me what I need in STATIC_URL, and MEDIA_URL.
