Hi there,
I first posted this to the user list but this now looks more and more
like a bug -- please correct me if I am wrong.
I am using a FileField to store user-uploaded files on the server. My
setup works with the development server but raises a
SuspiciousOperation error when I switch to apache2. Here is my setup:
settings.py:
MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/static/'
...
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE brickit.settings
PythonDebug On
PythonOption django.root
PythonPath "['/home/raik/data/py'] + sys.path"
</location>
<location "/media">
SetHandler None
</location>
<location "/static">
SetHandler None
</location>
The error occurs in /home/raik/data/py/django/core/file/storage.py in
line 207. The code fragment is:
def path(self, name):
try:
path = safe_join(self.location, name)
except ValueError:
raise SuspiciousOperation("...")
return os.path.normpath(path)
I traced the problem to the value of default_storage.location in core/
files/storage.py. In the development server, location points to
settings.MEDIA_ROOT '/var/www/static' as expected. Yet, in the apache
process, location points to an empty string "". The weird thing is
that, at the time of initialization of storage py, settings.MEDIA_ROOT
is indeed "". However, the django debug screen later reports the
correct settings.MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/static'. Looks to me as if
django only finds and reads my settings.py *after* storage.py is
initialized. That's why it looks like a bug to me. Shall I post it?
Any ideas for a workaround?
Thanks in advance!
Raik
