I have a django app running with nginx and gunicor. The images, CSS and JS files are not loading! When I was checking the error log file (/var/log/nginx/error.log) I could see the path the machine is considering is different than the one I’ve typed!!!

Hello Ken Thank you so much for your help, the static files are working already! :smiley: But for images, in my project calls media, is there any additional info should I provide beyond these ones: MEDIA_URL = 'media/' MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'crud/media/') and in nginx config: …

Your alias has an extra “media/” in it. Also, you’ve defined the MEDIA_URL = 'media/', but your location directive is for /images/.

Hi Ken Actually the directory structure is like that, it has media/media. But the question here is: Can’t I use the directive /media/ for image files? thank you once again! :slight_smile:

I meant: my images files are located in: /home/ubuntu/petangel/crud/media/media also I do have these configs: MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'crud/media/')``` and ```location /static/ { alias /home/ubuntu/petangel/staticfiles/; } location /images/ { alias /…

Yes, because this: [image] ianchristani: location /images/ { does not match (is not the same as) this: [image] ianchristani: MEDIA_URL = 'media/'

Is one simple solution just change: location /images/ to location /media/ Because I did and still… :confused:

Then you need to show the details of the results. Show the log file from the server and the console log in the browser where it’s trying to retrieve those files, along with the change that you made to the nginx configuration file.

Ken… now I got the problem and I could solve! Everything is 100% :slight_smile: thank you very much for your help have a nice day
