Hi Darcy, I've done this successfully with apache, but not with nginx. To
do so, I had to add some extra stuff to the app itself, because configuring
the webserver is just half the battle, you also need to deal with Django.
So, hopefully this is still relevant to you.
First, make a directory called 'static' inside of your app
(hku_heritage/hku_heritage/static)
Next, add some more variables to settings.py. The following are from an
app that is served from domain.com/app_name/ (hence the use of PACKAGE_NAME
in the formatted strings below). I don't recall why I used os.path.join()
and .format() to achieve the basically the same thing here, but I do recall
trailing slashes important somehow.
# static files settings
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PACKAGE_ROOT, 'static') # file system directory
path
STATIC_URL = '/{0}/static/'.format(PACKAGE_NAME) # url prefix that Django
creates for this file path
# uploaded files settings, may as well deal with this now...
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PACKAGE_ROOT, 'uploads') # file system directory
path
MEDIA_URL = '/{0}/uploads/'.format(PACKAGE_NAME) # url prefix that Django
creates for this file path
Finally, you'll need to run python manage.py collectstatic in order for
django to collect all the static files into your new static root directory.
Not sure if that will solve everything, but those steps should be necessary
no matter what. Like I said, it's no problem with apache, so it can't be
much harder with nginx.
