Hi Jak,
I would suggest removing the "," after MEDIA_ROOT in your settings file
if it indeed is there. Could you also be a little more specific about
the problem. Is the rest of the page loading fine? and if it is, do you
see /media/ being pre-pended to your file name when you see the source
of your html page? Are you getting a page not found error when you're
trying to access the image directly ( <website>/media/FAPLogo.jpg) ?
Additionally, are you by chance pointing ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX in your
settings.py to /media/ as well?

Update:
I'm now using requestcontext in my view.
my new view is
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import RequestContext
def homepage(request):
return render_to_response ('index.html',
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
But it's still not working.
Thanks again!

Hello All,
I am new to Django and I'm trying to create a simple website. I am
trying to get an jpg to appear in the base template but I cant get it
to show up.
In setting.py
MEDIA_ROOT = '/Users/Jak/projects/fap/mysite/media',
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
urls.py
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
HTML
<h1><img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}FAPLogo.jpg"></h1>
views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template.loader import get_template
def homepage(request):
return render_to_response ('index.html')
any ideas on what the problem could be? I dont get an error when I run
the server.
Thanks
Jak
