I’m trying to serve my static media for a Django application that is  
hosted on Apache 2.2, I’m totally new to nginx and have some issues of  
doing it, here’s my nginx.conf

server {  
listen 8888;  
server\_name staticm;

```
    #charset koi8-r;

    #access_log logs/host.access.log main;

location /templates/ {
    alias /sites/testproject/testapplication/;
    expires max;
    }

    #error_page 404 /404.html;

    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root html;
    }

    # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
    # proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
    #}

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 

```

127.0.0.1:9000  
#  
#location ~ .php$ {  
# root html;  
# fastcgi\_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;  
# fastcgi\_index index.php;  
# fastcgi\_param SCRIPT\_FILENAME  
/scripts$fastcgi\_script\_name;  
# include fastcgi\_params;  
#}

```
    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
    # concurs with nginx's one
    #
    #location ~ /\.ht {
    # deny all;
    #}
}

```

I have 3 questions…

[_] Where do I put the static media (sites/testproject/testapplication/)  
on Apache root or nginx root.  
[_] How to configure the setting in Apache side  
[\*] How to access the static media, can it be accessed on browser by  
giving the url

Thanks
