You should use alias instead of root. root appends the trailing URL parts to your local path (e.g. http://test.ndd/trailing/part, it will add /trailing/part to your local path). Instead of that, alias does exactly what you want: when http://test.ndd/static/ is requested, /static is mapped to your alias exactly, without appending static again. For example: location /static … Read more
Try running with –preload as an argument to gunicorn_django – it should show you the error the workers are having when starting. See this bug

OK, I guess I got it. I had tried including environment=SECRET_KEY=”secret_key_with_non_alphanumeric_chars” in the conf file for supervisor but it didn’t like the non alphanumeric chars and I didn’t want to have my key in the conf file as I have it in git. After loking at supervisor’s docs I had also tried with: HOME=”/home/django”, USER=”django” … Read more

It also avoids … Read more
The error can be ignored, your gunicorn package installed successfully. The error is thrown by a bit of code that’d only work on Python 3.3 or newer, but isn’t used by older Python versions that Gunicorn supports. See https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/788: The error is a syntax error happening during install. It is harmless. During installation the setup.py … Read more

Uvicorn is a ASGI server running uvloop Python async needs a event loop for it to use it’s async features. And uvloop is an alternative to … Read more

Before detailing why gunicorn is recommended over runserver, let’s quickly clarify the difference between nginx and gunicorn, because both state that they are web servers. NGINX should be your entrance point to the public, it’s the server listening to port 80 (http) and … Read more
You’re getting the path wrong for proxy_params 99% of the time (From my experience), the default location for the proxy_params file is /etc/nginx/proxy_params but that doesn’t seem to be the same for you. The proxy_params file contains the following: proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; These parameters are used … Read more
