Django application with nginx and gunicorn only showing welcome page rest all pages showing 404 error

I tried to deploy a sample django application in amazon ec2 server with the help of nginx and gunicorn. I added proxy pass in nginx. After I run the server and accessing my IP I was able to view the welcome to django page. But when I navigate to some other urls, say admin its shows 404 not found error.

How to fix this error.

Nginx config:

    upstream app {
            server 127.0.0.1:8000;
    }

    server {
            listen 80 default_server;
            listen [::]:80 default_server;
            root /var/www/html;


            server_name IP;

            location /static/ {
                    root /home/ubuntu/workspace/business;
            }

            location / {

                    proxy_pass http://app;

                    # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                    # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
            }
}

The problem was with the line

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

This line is causing every url except the main url to route to 404 page. I removed it and hence working.

Thanks to @Richard Smith for mentioning it in the comment

You need change this:

location / {

         proxy_pass http://app;

         # First attempt to serve request as file, then
         # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
         try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

For this:

 location / {
      proxy_pass http://gunicorn:8888; #use your gunicorn port
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  }
