Issue description

The content of the nginx.conf file should be updated to include a trailing slash for the static and media directory location. Failure to do so prevents nginx from locating all static files and media files. The corrected lines should be: alias /var/www/recipes/staticfiles/; and alias /var/www/recipes/mediafiles/; Notice the character immediately before the semi-colon

interesting, the current nginx conf has worked for thousands of deployments for years now, how do you come to the conclusion that it does not work without the slash?

I think he is referring to the documentation at https://docs.tandoor.dev/install/manual/ The example nginx config doesn't match the current Recipes.conf that ships with Tandoor.

Indeed, that is correct. I did the manual install and configured the system just like the docs described. Might just be my config, but when I tried it without the slash, nginx was complaining that :

[error] 84522#84522: *32 open() "/var/www/recipes/staticfilesassets/favicon
-32x32.b7d9707eac91.png" failed (2: No such file or directory),
...

and adding the slash in the config simply fixed the issue.

I had exactly the same problem. Did the manual installation and the images (mediafiles) were not loading. Static files worked. I added the slash for locations media and static and viola: I can see my recipe image
