Update location blocks in Nginx file of lms (/edx/app/nginx/sites-avaliable/lms)

• Locate following block in the file

      root /edx/var/edxapp/media;
      try_files /$file =404;
      expires 31536000s;
  }
  

• Replace it with this one

  location ~ ^/media/(?P<file>.*) {
      root /edx/var/edxapp/media;
      try_files /$file /grades/$file;
      expires 31536000s;
  }
  location ~ ^/grades/(?P<file>.*) {
      root /edx/var/edxapp/media/grades;
      try_files /$file =404;
      expires 31536000s;
  }
