Hi,
1. No it doesn't have to be external web server. Here is what I do with Apache.
<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings.main
</Location>
<Location "/media/">
SetHandler None
</Location>
The SetHandler None will make sure that everything sitting in /media
will not go through django but will use apache directly.
2. You can put your templates anywhere you what where they sit is
defined only in settings/main.py.
3. If you are uploading images it probably makes sense to put them
into something like
/media/images (however for you must then use absolute path for image
upload fields so that django will know what the /media/images
translates to in terms of the actual path on your file system)
