Re: Noobe alert
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.

Re: Noobe alert
Check the error log for nginx to see if there's any hint of why the statics
aren't showing up.
My best guess is that the web server is running as a user that does not
have access to the files, and the error log should be showing up with
various "permission denied" messages.
The usual culprit is that while the static directory and files are readable
by everyone, the parent directories do not have the "execute" permission
bit set. On a directory "execute" means the ability to trasverse the
directory and get access to the contents, but not get a directory listing.
To fix, try something like this:
chmod a+x /var /var/www /var/www/virtualenv-test
/var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV /var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite
/var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite/static

Hi, I finally got a project in Django and I have a "what I hope is an easy
question" I started to set up a production server and yes the admin css
dissappeared, I went though the docs and followed them. I used the Collect
Static Files method and still no joy. Here is my info:
#settings.py
MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite/media/'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://localhost/media/'
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite/static/'
STATIC_URL = 'http://localhost/static/'
#niginx
root /var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite;
location /media/ {
root /var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite/media;
}
location /static/ {
root /var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/testsite/static;
}
My project is located in /var/www/virtualenv-test/ENV/
the project is testsite so the hierarchy inside ENV is:
testsite/
media/
static/all files from collect static files
testsite/
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
wsgi.py
manage.py
I am using version (1, 4, 2, 'final', 0).
If somebody can point out the probably obvious problem that I am missing I
would greatly appreciate it.
thanks in advance for your help
