Hi,
I'm using Django 1.3 and the included staticfiles app to handle my static media, and Nginx as the webserver.
It's currently working, but I have a feeling my paths are more complex than they need to be. I was wondering if anybody could perhaps point out a better way to config this, or any improvements to the following.
My settings.py:
# Absolute path to the directory that holds static files.
# Example: "/home/media/media.lawrence.com/static/"
STATIC_ROOT = '/sites/example.com/static_media/static'
# URL that handles the static files served from STATIC_ROOT.
# Example: "http://media.lawrence.com/static/"
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# URL prefix for admin media -- CSS, JavaScript and images.
# Make sure to use a trailing slash.
# Examples: "http://foo.com/static/admin/", "/static/admin/".
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/static/admin/'
# A list of locations of additional static files
STATICFILES_DIRS = ()
My /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;
rewrite ^/(.*) http://example.com/$1 permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
access_log /sites/example.com/logs/access.log;
error_log /sites/example.com/logs/error.log;
location /static {
root /sites/example.com/static_media;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}
}
My static media is collected inside of /sites/example.com/static_media/static - I'm not sure why I need two layers of static directories, but I couldn't see a way around this (although I'm undoubtedly missing something obvious here).
Also, any recommended changes to Nginx config?
Cheers,
Victor
