Help - how to deploy to nginx in windows

[frocco]

Hello,

If I create a base django app, how can I get it to run using nginx in windows?

I keep getting 404 errors.

Thank you

Nginx is just a proxy server, you still need something behind it to run
your Django project. I recommend gunicorn (http://gunicorn.org/). It's
easy to use and is commonly used with Nginx.

Thanks,

Are there any examples on how to get this up and running on windows?

Here's an Nginx package for Windows: http://kevinworthington.com/nginx-for-windows/

Once you have Nginx installed, configuration is about the same as for any other platform. The gunicorn site has an example Nginx configuration you can adapt: http://gunicorn.org/#deployment

You also need to run gunicorn itself. You can install it with pip (if you haven't already). Then there are several ways to run it; just have a look at their docs. I usually do something like: gunicorn --daemon myproject.wsgi:application

Keep in mind that gunicorn won't auto-reload your project when you change the code (like the Django dev server does) so when you make updates, you'll need to restart gunicorn.

Actually, it looks like those are Nginx builds for cygwin. If you want native Windows builds, the Nginx site itself has those: http://nginx.org/en/download.html
