[Django]-Unable to serve static media from S3 with Django

by

1👍

I have this running on my own Django project. I went and checked out the differences. One thing you might try is adding:

AWS_QUERYSTRING_AUTH = False

to your settings.py. That could help with at least your issue #2.

Here’s a full example from my settings.py. Note: I don’t use S3 for static files, only media.

from boto.s3.connection import SubdomainCallingFormat
AWS_CALLING_FORMAT = SubdomainCallingFormat()
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'project.s3utils.MediaRootS3BotoStorage'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', None)
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.getenv('AWS_SECRET_KEY', None)
AWS_SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('AWS_SECRET_KEY')
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = os.getenv('AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME')
AWS_QUERYSTRING_AUTH = False
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '../',  'static')
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '../..',  'media')
MEDIA_URL = 'http://{!s}.s3.amazonaws.com/media/'.format(AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME)

I believe your static and media urls/roots are incorrect. They should follow the format below:

MEDIA_URL = S3_URL + MEDIA_DIRECTORY
STATIC_URL = S3_URL + STATIC_DIRECTORY
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/host/app/static_root/media'
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/host/app/static_root/static'

Note: Change the MEDIA_ROOT and STATIC_ROOT to how your project is configured.

EDIT:

Sorry, didn’t see you were using compressor. Try doing the following:

COMPRESS_URL = S3_URL + STATIC_DIRECTORY
STATIC_URL = COMPRESS_URL
MEDIA_URL = S3_URL + MEDIA_DIRECTORY
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/host/app/static_root/media'
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/host/app/static_root/static'
