Django File Upload with nginx / gunicorn - media p

问题:

I'm trying to allow users of my django site to upload a file (mostly PDFs) to my server through a FileField on a model. However, I keep running into 'Errno 13 Permission Denied' when trying to use the upload field generated by my modelform.

I have found many potential solutions while searching around, but haven't been able to get anything to work properly so far. This is my first real deployment and I have probably confused myself. For reference, I am on Ubuntu 14.04, Django 1.6, & gunicorn+nginx.

Right now, my media root lies within my project directory at:

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media/uploads")

The error indicates an issue with the proper directory, so it's going to the right spot.

I have tried to chown -r the media directory to www-data:www-data with no success. I poked around, figured out what user was running the python process and tried to set 'him' as the owner - didn't work. I flipped it back to its original owner and group (root:root) and tried to chmod -r to 755 and 770, both of which also failed to resolve the issue.

If I chmod -r to 777, then everything "works" - but that's not something I want to keep exposed for obvious reasons.

My static files are collecting and being served properly from a directory outside of my project root (/var/www/mysite/static), so I tried moving the media folder over there and repeating all of the above steps - same result.

How can I get my media folder to securely accept uploads and downloads from my users without leaving this security hole wide open?

Thank you!

First of all, media files folder has to be in you project's path, otherwise you'll be getting SuspiciousOpertion exception from Django, so don't put it in /var/www.

Also, the fact that you are using nginx, is not that relevant, important part is which user is nginx/django project is running under, whichever user it is (normally www-data, at least with apache+mod_wsgi), that user should be the owner of the media folder.

Once you change the owner to the right user (I assume www-data): sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .../media, make sure permissions are correct: sudo chmod -R u+rwX .../media.

Hope it helped. Let me know if it didn't. :)

Try upping the max_body_size in your nginx conf file:

server {
    ...

    client_max_body_size 250M;

    ...
}

By default it's set to 1M which is possibly too small depending on what you're uploading.
