concerning the 2nd question, there is a known bug in thumbnails handling but also a testing patch at disposal

Problem with image caching on uwsgi/nginx

Hi everyone,

here is the situation:

I’ve been deploying my project, collected static files incl images using collectstatic, copied them to the folder I configured nginx with: /opt/project_name/static.

Now, I launch uwsgi, open site and find out it points img to cached file: mysite.com/media/cache/65/8d/658d063b497b2bd1ea6bf135896566c8.jpg

Of course, nginx can’t serve it since there are only collected images at /media - which points to /opt/project_name/static.

I’ve also tried cache.clear() from shell and ./manage.py thumbnail clear with no effect.

So, there are two questions I’m asking your help about:

how to set satchmo store cached files to /opt/project_name/static/ where nginx points to ?

How to reset cached data so that satchmo regenerated cached images ?

Thank you upfront,

Andrey
