It seems the problem has to do with confusion over paths to "static"
files.
The whole MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL fiasco.
I've been tracking it down for 24 hours and while closer maybe,
haven't fixed it.
Two questions I have now:
1. Why is my server started twice
2. What module is mangling the path?
For 1, I get this message on startup, with some DEBUG comments that
I've added in settings.py and local_settings.py
python manage.py runserver --noreload
('settings.py: DIRNAME is %s', '/Users/<mypath>/mystore')
('local_settings.py: DIRNAME is %s', '/Users/<mypath>/mystore')

('local_settings.py: DIRNAME is %s', '/Users/<mypath>/mystore/../
mystore')

Coment ^^^^^ At this point, the store has been started twice, inside
django/core/commands/__init.py__,
and the DIRNAME variable has been tweaked. I have tried to remove all
mangling of DIRNAME in manage.py, settings.py, and local_settings.py,
so that the only line setting it is at the top of settings.py:
DIRNAME = os.path.dirname(__file__)

On (2) - When go to the admin interface, products, and add an image, I
get the same error as first reported,
"Upload a valid image ..."
What I've found is that a directory is created by this admin action,
which is my pathname concatenated three times. Not kidding:
/Users/r<mypath>/mystore/static/Users/<mypath>/mystore/static/Users/
<mypath>/mystore/static/images
I delete the whole path under the first <mypath>/mystore, and it is
recreated by attempting to add an image.
This is pretty ridiculous. I've been chasing this down into
django.core, found the module execute_manager, the command 'runserver'
and the settings manipulation.
It seems I shouldn't be debugging in django core, and so far have
failed to figure out how this incorrect path was created.
First question I guess is: why is the server start being called
twice? Even with --noreload.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
