You should def. read those articles. A quick fix (if you're in a time crunch) is to add this to your base urls.py inserting the proper values:
if settings.DEBUG: urlpatterns += patterns('', (r'^my_sites_media_folder/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '/path/to/my/media/folder'}), ) which would allow you to go to http://localhost:8000/my_sites_media_folder/ and serve static files out of /path/to/my/media/folder. again.. you should still read the articles to figure out WHY this works. -justin On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 3:19 PM, Pete Crosier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Have a look at the links below, I think you're over-estimating what > MEDIA_URL does for you - > http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/ > http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/settings/#media-url > > On Feb 22, 7:54 pm, troeten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > i have a problem with the MEDIA_URL in django. > > My settings.py section looks like this: > > > > # Absolute path to the directory that holds media. > > # Example: "/home/media/media.lawrence.com/" > > MEDIA_ROOT = '/Users/stefan/Development/ju_amerang/media/' > > > > # URL that handles the media served from MEDIA_ROOT. > > # Example: "http://media.lawrence.com" > > MEDIA_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/' > > > > but, when i want to go tohttp://127.0.0.1:8000/media/with my browser > > i get every time a 404 Error with the following message: > > Using the URLconf defined in ju_amerang.urls, Django tried these URL > > patterns, in this order: > > ^mitglieder/ > > ^admin/ > > The current URL, /media/, didn't match any of these. > > > > can anyone help me? > > > > sorry for my bad englisch, but i hope you understand my > > > > regards stefan > > > -- Justin Lilly Web Developer --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
