I've now read the documentation you're pointing to, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem. It says that this should work with the default nginx configuration, but there *is* no default nginx configuration in Mezzanine. There's a deploy/nginx.conf.template that I renamed to deploy/nginx.conf, but that didn't solve the problem. I don't even know where that config file is supposed to be, if not in the deploy directory.
I've tried this on two different installations now, and it seems to me that *Mezzanine, out of the box, stops working as soon as you turn off debug*. This seems like something that should be fixed upstream (IE, not on my installation), and I'd gladly do what I can to help resolve this issue. But then again, perhaps it's just me who's missing something. Could someone try making a new installation *as per the official instructions on Mezzanine's site*, then turn off debugging in local_settings.py, then *force a full reload in the browser by clicking shift-reload* (to get rid of the local cache of static files), and see if it still works?
