Django + Nginx Unable to serve media files

I have two servers: the first for Nginx and the second for Django + media files.

Nginx server IP: xxx.xx.xx.1
Django + media files server IP: xxx.xx.xx.2

In Django's settings.py file, my media path configurations:

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

MEDIA_URL = "/media/"

In the first server, my Nginx configurations:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name example.com;

        location /media/ {
                proxy_pass http://xxx.xx.xx.2/;
        }

        location / {
                include proxy_params;
                proxy_pass http://xxx.xx.xx.2:8000/;
        }
}

In the second server, where the media files are placed, my Nginx configurations:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name xxx.xx.xx.2;

        location /media/ {
                alias /home/sadm/Desktop/{project_name}/media;
        }

However, when trying to access example.com/media/images/my_image.jpg, I get a 404 error.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

This may be minute, but I don't think you should have /media at the end of your alias. Try this:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name xxx.xx.xx.2;

        location /media/ {
                root /home/sadm/Desktop/{project_name};
        }
}
