Comment #6 on issue 136 by arockinit: MEDIA_ROOT in settings.py ignored for document_root http://code.google.com/p/django-hotclub/issues/detail?id=136
I've been sloppy with my use of MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL, I apologize. I'm still updating my skillset from PHP to Python/Django. -------- If one goes to this URL, one gets the logo image http://127.0.0.1:8000/site_media/pinax/images/logo.png If one changes MEDIA_URL in settings.py to "/images/", the following URL does not work. It is still the URL with site_media: http://127.0.0.1:8000/images/pinax/images/logo.png One has to modify the urls.py file directly to make the change: pinax/projects/complete_project/urls.py:103-106 if settings.SERVE_MEDIA: urlpatterns += patterns('', (r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'misc.views.serve') ) To: if settings.SERVE_MEDIA: urlpatterns += patterns('', (r'^%s(?P<path>.*)$' % settings.MEDIA_URL, 'misc.views.serve') ) -------- I would propose making that change to urls.py and changing MEDIA_URL to 'site_media/' (without the leading slash in my example, or with it in yours). If somebody is using a non-development server it won't matter, and if they are using the development server, it makes it easy to make the change (for first time users). Anyway, this is really a trivial problem - I'm fine with marking this as WONTFIX and moving on. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
