Trouble serving uploaded images on Django

Question

After a user has uploaded an image, she's always returns a 404 error. I think this is a Nginx missconfig but I'm not sure of it and after hours of search and tries I still don't understand the issue.

Here's my settings.py :

DEBUG = False
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static'),
)

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

Next, my urls.py :

urlpatterns = [
...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

And my Nginx config file :

location ^/static/ {
    autoindex on;
    alias /home/user/mywebsite/site/static;
}

location ^/media/ {
    alias /home/user/mywebsite/site/media;
}

Here's a image's generated URL : https://www.mywebsite.com/media/CACHE/images/img/venus/758c9f7d70d0c64b5631cc865986de48.jpg (404)

I use Django Imagekit for handling uploaded images. I always founded these URLs weird...maybe ImageKit need some more extra configuration ?

My static and media directories are in /mainappdjango/static, not on root directory. If I don't do that, my static aren't loaded. The image is well uploaded on the server (I can access it with FTP or SSH).

Do you have any idea of the trouble causing these 404 errors ? :/

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

you have the wrong nginx config. have to add salsh.

location /static/ {
    alias /home/user/mywebsite/site/static/;
    autoindex on;
}
location /media/{
  alias /home/user/mywebsite/site/media/;
  autoindex on;
}
