nginx+django+uwsgi static files 403 Forbidden

Question

Hi~ I'm deploying a website in CentOS 6.5. The framework is django1.7. I use nginx and uwsgi.

The website is now available except 403 Forbidden for all static files.

I have googled a few hours, and have changed the whole site folder as chmod 777. The owner of folder is kltc, and user in nginx.conf is also kltc.

I have no idea why the problem is still Permission denied.

nginx.conf

user  kltc;
worker_processes  1;

kuaileticao.miyayx.me

 server {
        # the port your site will be served on
        listen 80;
        # the domain name it will serve for
        server_name kuaileticao.miyayx.me; # substitute your machine's IP address or FQDN
        charset utf-8;
        access_log /srv/www/nginx/kuaileticao.miyayx.me/access.log;
        error_log /srv/www/nginx/kuaileticao.miyayx.me/error.log;

        location /static {
            autoindex  on;
            alias /home/kltc/Project/sunny_sports/sunny_sports/static; 
        }

        # Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
        location / {
        uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8001; 
        include uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi_params file you installed
        }
    }

uwsgi.ini

[uwsgi]
# the base directory (full path)
chdir=/home/kltc/Project/sunny_sports
# Django's wsgi file
module=sunny_sports.wsgi:application
master=true
# maximum number of worker processes

chown-socket=kltc:kltc
pidfile=/tmp/project-master.pid
# clear environment on exit
vacuum=true

error.log

I have tried several methods. Such as, change the nginx.conf user to root. But none of them worked.

Hope for your help. Thank you!

Answer 1

Make sure that you chown parent directory of your project (/home) to be readable by the nginx worker.

chown -R kltc:kltc /home 
chmod -R ug+r /home

Answer 2

Make sure that you have the STATIC_ROOT declared in your settings file.

Also, try running python manage.py collectstatic --noinputbefore running the server.

Hope that works!
