Django + NGINX URL Problem

Question

I have set up Django's FastCGI + NGINX, but it's only working for root url: any request to http://example.com/anything redirects to http://example.com. Django's internal server working fine, NGINX static file serving and FastCGI processing of the root URL is fine, error log is clear. Here is my config's server section:

server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  example.com;

        location / {
              fastcgi_pass localhost:8000;
              include fastcgi_params;
        }

        location /static/ {
              alias /root/web_development/src/web_development/static/;
        }
}

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

What is the content of fastcgi_params?

Try this configs:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name example.com;

        location / {
                root /home/example.com/foo;
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8000;
                fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
                fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
                fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
                fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
                fastcgi_pass_header Authorization;
                fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
        }
}

Make sure you've already informed nginx the port which django runs.

It's definitely working! Thank you! The problem was in the absence of PATH_INFO parameter in fastcgi_params.

Isn't this setup passing all files through fastcgi? Seems to me that only php files should be matched while other resources should be served directly.

You may need to add this line to location /:

fastcgi_split_path_info ^()(.*)$;

from djangoandnginx
