Nginx Static Files doesn't load Django-CodePudding

Nginx won't load Django static files.

Nginx config:

upstream backend {
    server localhost:8000;
}

server {
        server_name wavera.ru www.wavera.ru;
           location / {
            include proxy_params;
               proxy_pass http://backend;
        }
    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.wavera.ru/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.wavera.ru/privkey.pem;
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

    location /static/ {
        alias /root/labelEngine/labelApp/static/;
    }

    location /media/ {
        alias /root/labelEngine/media/;
    }
    
}

server {
    if ($host = wavera.ru) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
    if ($host = www.wavera.ru) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
    listen 80 ;
    server_name wavera.ru www.wavera.ru;
    return 404;
}

settings.py of static files:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media")
MEDIA_URL = "/media/"

And also urls have:

   static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Otherwords, i just want to turn off debug mode and make sure my website and static / media files work correctly. I try to do this by whitenoise, but its didnt support media files, so i try to set up nginx config. What i am doing wrong?

CodePudding user response：

Have you tried to configure nginx creating a new user? Try to follow digitalocean's tutorial on deploying django application with nginx and gunicorn. But create a new user first, you will see the guideline in their site.

CodePudding user response：

One answer might be that by changing the user, you should be able to access resources. In the "nginx.conf" file, at the top you can add/edit the user that is accessing the resources with this string

user "USER_PROJECT_OWNER";
