Django doesn't serve static files with NGINX + GUNICORN

Question

Everything worked very well before gunicorn and nginx, static files were served to the website. But now, it doesn't work anymore.

Settings.py

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
'/root/vcrm/vcrm1/static/'
]

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'vcrm/static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

MEDIA_ROOT = '/root/vcrm/vcrm1/vcrm/media/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

/etc/nginx/sites-available/vcrm

server {
listen 80;
server_name 195.110.58.168;

location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static {
    root /root/vcrm/vcrm1/vcrm;
}

location = /media {
    root /root/vcrm/vcrm1/vcrm;
}

location / {
    include proxy_params;
    proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
}

}

When I run collectstatic:

You have requested to collect static files at the destination
location as specified in your settings:

/root/vcrm/vcrm1/vcrm/static

This will overwrite existing files!
Are you sure you want to do this?

and then:

Found another file with the destination path 'admin/js/vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js'. It will be 
ignored since only the first encountered file is collected. If this is not what you want, make sure 
every static file has a unique path.

0 static files copied to '/root/vcrm/vcrm1/vcrm/static', 251 unmodified.

Answer 1

1. Run python manage.py collectstatic from your project directory.
2. Access nginx's webserver config file and add a location in your config file.
3. Reload nginx server with sudo systemctl reload nginx.
