Deployment of django using nginx

Question

Im using django 1.11.
i have set up everything on server and my website work just fine, the problem is static files. i see django admin panel without any css or js.

my settings in settings.py :

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

i run collectstatic and i got them in home/user/myproj/static

here is my nginx.conf file :

server{
    listen 8000;
    server_name  my ip
    access_log /var/log/nginx/example.log;

    location /static {
        root home/user/myproj;
    }
}

i also check django-static-file-and-nginx and django-serving-static-files-through-nginx , and tried 1000 times. it still loads without css. can anybody help me ?

here is my full nginx.conf file :

user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;

events {
        worker_connections 768;
        # multi_accept on;
}

server {
    listen 8000;
    server_name my ip
    access_log /var/log/nginx/example.log;

    location /static/ {
            root /home/user/myproj/static;
    }
 }

What does the nginx access and error logs say, when you request a static file? — dahrens, Aug 10 '17 at 10:50

change your nginx.conf like below:

location /static/ {
    root /home/user/myproj/static;
}

NginX will route client's request /static/ to static files serving where is same as STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

Note: url should be /yoururl/ and location should be absolute like /home/user/proj/static
