Comment (by spkane):
While responding to this I figured out the issue. I would say that it is a
bug in the book (The Definitive Guide to Django). Or at least something
that should have included a caveat for folks not on Unix systems. In the
author model the book has you write, it defined the field AND the upload
location in the code:
headshot = models.ImageField(upload_to='/tmp')
which was not at all apparent multiple chapters later when I started to
use that field. I'm not even sure it would work as is, since I believe
that Django will trigger an "Suspicous Activity" warning because this is
outside of the Django project hierarchy.
However, the general problem is fixed. Thank you for the detailed
response.
