Hello folks, Can anyone out there offer advice on glitches in my production environment, as well as explain the relevant settings.py in plain English for a newbie?
I've been pulling my hair out for weeks trying to get an nginx reverse proxy to serve static media while apache mod_wsgi serves up dynamic django content. The dynamic content is being served, and I can access the index of media files in a browser by visiting the MEDIA_URL. But for some reason, media does not get served when I access the admin backend. I get the login screen without any of the stylesheets, javascript, etc. (and a 500 error when I try to login). I haven't had any luck despite countless tweaks to MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL, and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX (along with corresponding changes to nginx and apache config files). At the bottom of the post are my various config files. I was hoping someone could point out whatever dumb mistake I'm making. Additionally, if someone could explain the concepts behind the settings.py file and how they relate back to the server config files -- that would be enormously helpful (the django docs and countless threads I've read on the subject don't connect the dots clearly enough -- at least for me). I'm hoping a basic explanation might let me penetrate the problem conceptually, so I'm not just futzing around with tweaks with no idea what's really happening. Can someone teach a man to fish? ****************settings.py**************** MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/user/public_html/mysite/public/media/' MEDIA_URL = 'http://media.mysite.org/' ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/' ******************/etc/nginx/nginx.conf************* user www-data; worker_processes 3; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; pid /var/run/nginx.pid; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { include /etc/nginx/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; sendfile on; #tcp_nopush on; #keepalive_timeout 0; keepalive_timeout 10; tcp_nodelay on; gzip on; upstream webcluster { server 127.0.0.1:8080; } include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; } *****************/etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite.org************* server { listen 80; server_name media.mysite.org; access_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.media.access.log; location / { autoindex on; index index.html; root /home/user/public_html/mysite/public/media; } } server { listen 80; server_name mysite.org www.mysite.org; access_log /var/log/nginx/mysite.django.access.log; if ($host !~* "^mysite\.org") { rewrite ^(.*)$ http://mysite.org$1 permanent; break; } location / { proxy_pass http://webcluster; include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf; } } *****************/etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.org************** <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerName www.mysite.org ServerAlias mysite.org WSGIScriptAlias / /home/user/public_html/mysite/test_app/ mysite.wsgi <Directory /home/user/public_html/mysite/test_app> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> LogLevel debug ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/mysite/error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/mysite/access.log combined </VirtualHost> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
