Hey and thanks for the post, I actually posted this back on saturday and I figured it out, actually the way you are saying but it wasn't the permissions. I had to much info, the url going into nginx had two static directories next to each other, at first I tried to remove one but I decided to go with an empty string for STATIC_ROOT and that was it. No problems now, (basically follow the docs) duhh. But thanks I appreciate the post.
