My Project files are in the root directory. The settings.py of my project is
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATICFILES_DIRS =['/root/templates/colorlib-regform-6']
STATIC_ROOT = '/root/static'
MEDIA_ROOT = '/root/media'
there are folders named static and media for holding static files
gunicorn is also working plus Nginx is also ok. No errors:
/etc/nginx/sites-available/Projectname
server {
listen 80;
server_name 104.131.89.148;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root / ;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
}
}
Then I have tried restarting gunicorn and nginx plus
python3 manage.py collectstatic
This also works fine and static files are collected. Everything is working fine, except the server is not serving static files. The project works perfectly in local.

Hi @rikeshk012330,
This seems like a long shot but are you sure you are using the proper ownership and permissions. I think the issue might be exactly ownerships. Since Nginx is not using root but another group and user, most probably it’s unable to access your /static folder and server these files.
Try changing this folder and everything inside to be with the user and group of Nginx. You can find this environment setting in Nginx’s config.
