I’ve deployed my django project “django\_chatbot” on an ubuntu server on Digitalocean. the user is “aras”, and the project folder is: “/home/aras/django\_chatbot” In the settings.py file, I changed these lines: ```auto ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['64.227.102.100'] STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/my_project/static/' ``` With “sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/django\_chatbot” I’ve edited Nginx configuration : ```auto server { listen 80; server_name 64.227.102.100; location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location /static/ { alias /var/www/my_project/static/; } location / { include proxy_params; # Adjust this line for your .sock file proxy_pass http://unix:/home/aras/django_chatbot/django_chatbot.sock; } { ``` After deploying this project on the server by this command: ```auto gunicorn --bind 64.227.102.100:8000 django_chatbot.wsgi ``` my static files do not load on the website. My nginx log is: ```auto [error] 32978#32978: *350 open() "/var/www/my_project/static/historypage.js" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 185.180.140.141, server: 64.227.102.100, request: "GET /static/historypage.js HTTP/1.1", host: "64.227.102.100" 2023/08/29 04:09:07 [notice] 42213#42213: signal process started 2023/08/29 04:43:23 [notice] 42607#42607: signal process started 2023/08/29 04:43:23 [notice] 42613#42613: signal process started 2023/08/29 04:43:23 [notice] 42618#42618: signal process started 2023/08/29 04:43:23 [notice] 42624#42624: signal process started 2023/08/29 06:45:24 [notice] 43969#43969: signal process started 2023/08/29 06:57:16 [notice] 44086#44086: signal process started ``` Can any body help me?

Have you verified that that static file is in that directory? Did you run `collectstatic` to copy the files there? Does nginx have the appropriate access to those directories and files? ---

I’ve prepared nginx access for the “static” folder at: /var/www/my\_project/static/ but not for the sub folders and files within that. It it necessary? In the nginx log, I wonder about historypage.js failure to load. because i do not have such file in my static folder of my app. And the log does not cover other failure of logo and fonts. ---

So you’re bypassing nginx - or trying to anyway. Your nginx configuration has: > [@amirelly](#): > > ```auto > server { > listen 80; > > ``` which means you should be accessing your site on port 80. (http) ---

No. In your browser, when you go to the web site. Go to port 80 on the server, not 8000. ---

Yes. Do not change any of your configuration (yet). Only change the url you enter in your browser. ---
