Hi there! I’m having trouble getting the css and fonts to load on my configuration. I’m using the default nginx config.

My CSS block looks like this:

> location ~ ^/(css|img|js|fonts)/ {  
> root /var/www/writefreely/static;  
> # Optionally cache these files in the browser:  
> # expires 12M;  
> }

Is there something I’m missing? The root section is correctly formatted, as far as I can tell.

Hi @MissionControl, did you run the key generation?

If not, run `writefreely --gen-keys` in the root of the application folder.

I did run the keygen.

What it turned out to be is that I had write freely configured so that the public url was localhost. Updated to my new url and it’s working fine now. 🙂 Thanks for the help!
