I have my first Django app running, but with very basic html. I'm trying to add my first <img> tag and finding it difficult to serve up the image file.
I've read this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static- files/?from=olddocs, which points out that having django serve static content is "inefficient and insecure", and then points to a reference for Apache plus mod_python. Questions: 1) The method outlined above isn't working for me. urls.py says (for my foobar application): (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '/Users/jao/django/foobar/media'}), /Users/jao/django/foobar/media/images has xyz.gif, and my page says: <img src="/media/images/xyz.gif"/> But when I load the page, the image doesn't show up. I get a little box with a question mark in it. 2) I'm not using mod_python, I'm using mod_wsgi. Is the procedure pretty close to that of mod_python? 3) Why exactly is the builtin django method insecure? Thanks for any help.
