Re: Serving media files with Django/Apache/Nginx

Using the alias directive is much more easier and straighforward, for
me at least. Here's an example configuration

upstream django-backend
{
server testsite.local:4080;
}

server {
listen 80;
server_name testsite.com;

location /{
proxy_redirect http://testsite.local:4080/ http://$host/;
proxy_set_header X-REAL-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_connect_timeout 5;
proxy_send_timeout 15;
proxy_read_timeout 60;
proxy_set_header Host "testsite.local:4080";
proxy_pass http://django-backend;

}

location /static {
alias /home/vasil/Projects/django-test/djangoproject/static;
}
}
