    <p>I'm trying to use Nginx in front of Django's localhost webserver (127.0.0.1:8000) to serve the static content. I'd like Nginx to serve all files under '/static', and if not, pass the request onto the Django's webserver, but I'm stuck! Here's what I've done:</p> <ol> <li>Got Nginx running on my OSX, so the 'welcome to Nginx!' page shows on localhost.</li> <li><p>Changed my /etc/hosts file to add 'testdev.com':</p> <p>127.0.0.1 localhost</p> <p>127.0.0.1 testdev.com</p></li> <li><p>Made /sites-available and /sites-enabled files in /usr/local/src/nginx-1.2.6</p></li> <li><p>My nginx.conf file in /conf is the default plus the include statement: </p> <p>include /usr/local/src/nginx.1.2.6/sites-enabled/testdev.com</p></li> </ol> <p>5.My testdev.com file is in sites-available, with a symlink in /sites-enabled.</p> <pre><code>server { root /&lt;path-to-my-django-project&gt;/website/static; server_name testdev.com; gzip off; listen 8000; location = /favicon.ico { rewrite "/favicon.ico" /img/favicon.ico; } proxy_set_header Host $host; location / { if (-f $request_filename) { add_header X-Static hit; access_log off; } if (!-f $request_filename) { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; add_header X-Static miss; } } } </code></pre> <p>If I curl the testdev.com, it shows Nginx:</p> <pre><code>curl -I http://testdev.com HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.2.6 Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:37:30 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 612 Last-Modified: Sun, 21 Apr 2013 19:39:47 GMT Connection: keep-alive Accept-Ranges: bytes </code></pre> <p>But if I try to access a static file, nothing:</p> <pre><code>curl -I http://testdev.com/static/css/style.css HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Server: nginx/1.2.6 Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:38:53 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 168 Connection: keep-alive </code></pre> <p>All this is based from a Google search, and finding <a href="http://www.peterbe.com/plog/local-django-development-with-nginx" rel="nofollow">this</a>.</p> <p>I added in the </p> <pre><code>listen 8000 </code></pre> <p>statement in my testdev.com conf file as I thought that was needed for the Nginx virtual host, but I'm super confused. The blog author used </p> <pre><code>127.0.1.1 testdev.com </code></pre> <p>In his hosts file, but if i add that, the first curl statement just hangs.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong? </p>

    2. CO@Evgeny - how so, isn't that a production deployment issue? I'm in localhost.

    3. CO@professorDante - I'm going to second Evgeny. Even though that is a production issue, it still is the same root cause. What you're asking for can't really be done. Django's web server only runs when you have "DEBUG=True" in your settings.py . You can't have a setup where it looks in nginx and to the django webserver because the django webserver only runs when debug is on.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
