I figured it out. I put the Media folder on the same level as a the
mysite folder and now it seems to work. I think it was a django noob
error.
MEDIA_ROOT ='/Users/Jak/projects/fap/media/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
'/Users/Jak/projects/fap/mysite/templates',
urls.py
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
HTML
<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}FAPLogo.jpg"/>
Thanks!
