Re: trouble with setting static for img and css

First thanks for responding.

Yes there is a website www.pesprograms.com but I'm using the code in the development and it is a virtualenv.  The path I provided is in fact the real path (not my 'home').  

When I run collectstatic I get none of my static files - actually I'm just looking for favicon.ico.  But I do want to understand what I'm doing wrong for all the static files.  Question: am I suppose run collectstatic each time I change the STATIC_URL?

Hi Johnf,

Subject: Nginx + Gunicorn + Django Example

For a website using Nginx + Gunicorn + Django, try using STATIC_ROOT along

with the following settings.

If you login as user z, then usually your web project would be

set up in a path like /home/z/pesweb/

Note: The folder, pes_django1.11, seems out of place. Is it your

virtual environment? Usually your virtual environment would be

in a path like /home/z/pesweb/web_env/  Your specific folder setup

affects your gunicorn and nginx definitions (see below).

# If your website can be browsed at http://www.pesweb.com and

# your static files are browser-accessible at

# http://www.pesweb.com/static/ then your STATIC URL is /static/

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

# If you choose to keep the out-of-place folder, pes_django1.11, then

# STATIC_ROOT = '/home/z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/static/'  This is not

# recommended since it seems to complicate things without any advantage.

#

# Absolute path to the directory static files should be collected to.

STATIC_ROOT = '/home/z/pesweb/static/'

And, your nginx definition might be like the following one:

server {

    listen 80;

    server_name pesweb.com www.pesweb.com;

    # Give a blank page if browsing the IP.

    root /var/www/html;

    # Only static files need to be browser-accessible.

    location /static/ {

        root /home/z/pesweb

        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

    }

}

And, your gunicorn definition might be like the following one:

[Unit]

Description=gunicorn-pesweb daemon

After=network.target

[Service]

User=z

Group=www-data

WorkingDirectory=/home/z/pesweb

ExecStart=/home/z/pesweb/web_env/bin/gunicorn --bind unix:/home/z/pesweb/pesweb.sock pesweb.wsgi:application

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Carl

Hi folks,

I have researched this issue and I know all I have to do is read the

doc's. But I can seem to get the correct path working to allow the

website to find the correct files in my Media,CSS and JS folders.

I'm using 1.11.x and have the following setup in OS file system.

I have set DEBUG = True

/z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/ is where my manage.py is located - it runs

just fine.

my files are in

/z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/static/static/css/ - this of course is for CSS

/z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/static/static/js/ -this of course is for JS

/z/pes_django1.11/pesweb/static/static/img/ -this of course is for

images like favicon.ico

In my settings.py file I have tried many combinations such as:

STATIC_URL = '/pesweb/static/static/'

STATIC_URL = '/static/static/'

STATIC_URL = '/pesweb/static/'

So would some kind soul please tell me what I need in STATIC_URL, and

MEDIA_URL.

Thanks in advance,

Johnf
