nginx forwards 404 to django

To set the image cache, so the images are transferred through nginx,

 

location /media/ {
             expires 7d;
             add_header Pragma public;
            add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
             alias /home/djangoproject/media/;
             break;
         }

 

 

 

Some pictures on the server are missing, because after passing through nginx, it will be displayed

404 Not Found

---

nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)

 

Improvement, first make a 404 forwarding page

add to the project url

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    .......
    url(r'^404page$', 'home.views.error404', name='404page'),
    .......

 

add in views

def error404(request):
    return render(request, '404.html', locals())

 

Write a 404.html page in the templates directory

 

Django part OK

 

Then change nginx.conf

Add a line under server

error_page 404 = /404page;

It's ok,
