[web2py] Configuring Nginx to serve static content directly

[Athelionas]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup Nginx to handle all my static contents bypassing uwsgi 
and thus web2py. Everything works fine as long as I don't specify a 
language in the URL. If I do then I end up with broken links to static 
files. Also, I don't quite understand what map_static should do but from 
what I could gather I guess it should be turned off so it won't mess with 
outgoing URLs of static contents. By the way routing seems to operate as it 
should apart from map_static which I don't understand so I guess there's 
something wrong with my nginx configuration file (probably the first 
location block).

Here are my config files:

routes.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

routers = dict(
               # base router
               BASE = dict(
                           applications = ['myapp'],
                           domains = {
                                      'mydomain' : 'myapp'
                                     },
                           default_application = 'myapp',
                           default_controller = 'default',
                           default_function = 'index',
                           languages = ['en', 'hu'],
                           default_language = None,
                           map_static = False
                          )
              )

logging = 'debug'


nginx config

server
{
    listen 80;
    server_name mydomain;
    server_tokens off;
    access_log off;
    location ~* /(\w+)/static/
    {
        root /home/www-data/web2py/applications/;
    }
    location /
    {
        uwsgi_pass      unix:///tmp/uwsgi.socket;
        include         uwsgi_params;
    }
}
