I am working with a demo Django project of video blog that I have hosted on a local Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS with Gunicorn, Nginx, Redis and Postgresql. I have installed this server on Virtualbox and assigned a fixed IP. Static files (html, css, js) are working well but video and a default image file of media folder are not showing. Both static and media folders are in the project root directory. I think have not configured properly the Nginx configuration file. But everything works fine when I check them with development server. I'm very new my dear and have a lack of advance programming knowledge. That's why, I am asking for your help for solving this problem. Please have a look the code bellow if there is any mistake. Thanks in advance!
