Django Static Media Error

Hello, I'm deploying my first django app, so please bear with me :)

I am encountering a 404 error (NGINX) when attempting to serve static media from within my app.

Per these instructions: http://docs.webfaction.com/software/django/config.html#serving-django-static-media

Here is my settings.py:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

==============================================
STATIC_ROOT = 'home/austinrivas/webapps/static_media/'

STATIC_URL = 'http://austinrivas.webfactional.com/static/'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = 'http://austinrivas.webfactional.com/static/admin/'
===============================================

I then executed python2.7 manage.py collectstatic

Now blog->myproject contains a dircetory called 'home' which appears to be an exact duplicate of my file structure leading up to the static files ( which I suppose is the expected result )

Obviously I receive 404 errors when attempting to retrieve any static files.

I think a symlink might do the trick, but I am hesitant to employ that because it shoots all of my attempts to decouple this application right in the foot.

Any help would be appreciated, Austin
