In my settings.py,
ROOT_PATH = os.path.dirname(__file__)
#STATICFILES_DIRS =
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(ROOT_PATH, 'static')
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(ROOT_PATH, 'media')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/
in my template,
<div class=" event_image">
<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ restaurant.logo }}" />
</div>
This doesnot work in development, it returns a 404 "GET /media/restaurant_detail/restaurant_detail/information_about_object.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 178672
what am i doing wrong,what is the right way to go about it so it works in both in dev't and production. i looked here (Django 1.4 serving MEDIA_URL and STATIC_URL files on development server) but all in vain.
Turns out i had to include the urls,my urls
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
The above worked..
my project structure
-myproject
-- media
-- static
-- templates
-- settings.py
-- manage.py
-- app
Suziemac, It worked for me too. Here is a link for original documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/views/ .
When I was developing an app I have used + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT), however this did not work when I deployed an app.

I want to get media files for Django when developing application. But they just don't set up. This is my settings:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
STATIC_ROOT + '\\projectpackage\\static\\',
)
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR + '\\projectpackage\\media\\'
Templatetag:
<img class="img-responsive" src="{{ project.image.url }}" alt="">
Urls:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^profile/', include(profile.urls)),
url(r'', include(authentication.urls)),
url(r'^project/', include(project.urls)),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^', 'views.index', name='index'),
url(r'^markdown/', include('django_bootstrap_markdown.urls')),
]
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += static(STATIC_URL, document_root=STATIC_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(MEDIA_URL, document_root=MEDIA_ROOT)
I can't see my mistake, because I've tried every other advices in other questions. And everything works bizzare. Static files are running good, media uploading to media/prj_img, but when I try to show image at template I've got such strange result:
<img class="img-responsive" src="/media/C%3A/Development/projectdirectory/projectpackage/media/prj_img/wallhaven-131_od9FWLX.jpg" alt="">
How could I fix this media error? This is strange, because everything looks right. Why there are full path in url?
Edit:
BASE_DIR
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
Also I've figured out that I've got wrong upload_to and changed it to prj_img. Now I've got following link:
<img class="img-responsive" src="/media/prj_img/wallhaven-24700.jpg" alt="">
But still it's not displating.
I have a lot of comments on your code.
STATIC_ROOT location is not appropriate. With your settings collectstatic command will put everything in your project's directory. Change it like so:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_files')
But take care, that this folder is accessable (both permissions and django-settings) in production.
Use os.path.join to join folders:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'projectpackage', 'static')
)
This url pattern must be the last one and contain $:
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'), # do not pass strings
These two url patterns do the same (docs):
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += static(STATIC_URL, document_root=STATIC_ROOT)
Moreover, you do not need them. Just ensure, that INSTALLED_APPS setting contains 'django.contrib.staticfiles'.
My static file setting is
STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'static')
and i install ckeditor in my project, and in urls.py :
url(r'static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT,}),
(r'^ckeditor/', include('ckeditor.urls')),
when i get ckeditor.js from http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/chicinfo/article/add/static/static/ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js, I can't get this file.
Below picture show my problem:
What happen to me?
I suspect you are putting /static/ in the actual url in your templates. E.g,
<scirpt src="{{ STATIC_URL }}static/ckeditor/ckeditor/jkeditor.js" />
You don't need to put the static bit in if you are using static_url. It should be:
<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}ckeditor/ckeditor/jkeditor.js" />
You should also put the static files serving URL at the end of your url config.
Working example:
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$',
'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT, }),
Just upgraded to Django 1.4, and having serious trouble with the new 'improved' serving of static and media files on development server. I love Django, but why on earth they have made serving these files doubly more complicated with STATIC_URL,STATIC_ROOT, STATICFILES_DIR now is utterly beyond me.
I'm simply trying to serve all files, static and uploaded, on the development server. I have the STATIC_URL files working, after much experimentation, but I simply cannot get the MEDIA_URL files to be served as well.
Settings:
DIRNAME = os.path.dirname(__file__)
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(DIRNAME, 'media/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = ()
I've got the media and static context processors added:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
"django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
'django.core.context_processors.media',
'django.core.context_processors.static',
"django.core.context_processors.request",
'satchmo_store.shop.context_processors.settings',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
)
and I've added in the url confs:
# serve static and uploaded files in DEV
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
with the two conf settings added as indicated in the docs, first one for static, second for media.
my structure, website being an app and static dir placed inside it as instructed on djangoproject:
<myproject>
--media
--settings
--templates
--website
|->static
In templates I can serve static content no problem with
{{STATIC_URL}}css/style.css
But any uploaded image, this one using photologue, is not served, but the urls are correct:
/media/photologue/photos/cache/spawning-2_admin_thumbnail.jpg
That directory structure does exit under media/
Super, super confused. It all seems so ridiculously complicated now, whereas I never had any issues before.
I´m very new to Django and I´ve never had any problem with static content.
This is my configuration. I hope it can help
My folder structure
django-project
--mainapp
----settings.py
----wsgi.py
----[...]
--otherapp

settings.py
import os, socket

if HOST_NAME == MY_LOCALHOST:

STATIC_URL = "http://server.com/static/"
MEDIA_ROOT = "/server/path/to/static/files/media/"
MEDIA_URL = 'http://server.com/static/media/'
You need to add 'django.contrib.staticfiles' to INSTALLED_APPS
urls.py
if settings.HOST_NAME == settings.MY_LOCALHOST:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True}),
)
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True}),
)
If you are using Django 1.4 folder structure, you've moved settings.py to your new website app folder which means your MEDIA_ROOT is now incorrect. Not sure if a relative location works in this case, but it should be something like this
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(DIRNAME, '../media/')
It might be simpler to use an absolute path.
I intended to write a comment first but somehow add comment button doesn't work.
Did you check the permissions of media directory?
Since it became an answer, I am going to dump one of my perfectly working Django 1.4 sites configuration.
structure:
-myproject
-- media
-- static
-- templates
-- myproject
--- settings.py
--- urls.py
settings.py:
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)) # Not the best way but works
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'media/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static/')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
urls.py:
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
Since Django 1.3 the concept of STATIC_URL has been introduced to separate use media files from css and js files.
I have set my STATIC_ROOT = '/home/user/project/static/' and
STATIC_URL = '/static/'.
In my base.html, i have changed the path like this:
<link href="{{ STATIC_URL }}bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
And in url.py I have added the following two lines:
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
...
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
My view renders the template with RequestCOntext:
return render(request, 'main_page.html', variables)
But in the development I still get 404 when running runserver.
[18/Aug/2012 17:12:04] "GET /static/jquery/jquery-1.8.0.min.js HTTP/1.1" 404 1682
What could I be missing?
settings.py
PROJECT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'site_media')
MEDIA_URL = '/site_media/'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
if DEBUG:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'static')
else:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'static'),
)
urls.py
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),
)
That should work :)
I'm a newbie to django. I'm developing a project in django 1.3. Problem is I'm uploading a image from the admin panel
class About(models.Model):
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='about')
files = models.FileField(upload_to='about')
Here is my template tag
<img class="profile_pic" src="{{ about.image }}" />
My setting file is as below
MEDIA_ROOT = path("media/")
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/static/admin/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
path('static/'),
)
I checked that image is uploaded to /media/about/image_name. Problem is it rendered in the template as "/about/imagename" but not shoing. When I manually go to that image url it showing a 404 error.
<img class="profile_pic" src="{{ about.image.url }}" />
UPDATE
Also in your urls.py:
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^' + settings.MEDIA_URL.lstrip('/'), 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT})
It worked!... After importing setting.MEDIA_ROOT in the urls.py file then I added a media rule so ITs working now..
BTW It also need
{{ about.image.url }}
as #zsquare(thanks) said earlier Here is the media rule
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': MEDIA_ROOT}),
