Nginx with Uwsgi throws 404 not found when accessing image in the ubuntu server

Question

I have created a flask application and deployed it in a remote ubuntu server using Nginx and uwsgi. But I can't access images in the application folder. The images are stored in /myproject/static/images/ folder.

Here is the server block

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name _;

    location / {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass unix:/root/myproject_sock/myproject.sock;
    }
}

How can I access the images kept in /myproject/static/images/ folder through image URL i.e. HTTP://myip/myproject/static/images/first_image.jpg ?

Thanks to @RichardSmith (https://stackoverflow.com/users/4862445/richard-smith) the issue is solved. If you are facing the same problem, you need to edit your server block inside /etc/nginx/sites-available/myproject (myproject can be anything you named your project earlier).

You need to add location and root directive. for example: location /DIR_NAME/myproject/static/images/ { root /; }. Here inside DIR_NAME you need to put the parent directory of your myproject folder.
