PythonDjangoHttp Status-Code-404Django SettingsDjango MediaPython Problem Overview
I am able to upload the files to media folder( '/peaceroot/www/media/') that I have set up in settings.py as below
MEDIA_ROOT = '/peaceroot/www/media/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
But through admin I tried to access the uploaded image file
http://localhost:8000/media/items/1a39246c-4160-4cb2-a842-12a1ffd72b3b.jpg
then I am getting 404 error.
The file exists at peaceroot/www/media/items/1a39246c-4160-4cb2-a842-12a1ffd72b3b.jpg
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
Add media url entry in your project urlpatterns:
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
...
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Solution 2 - Python
The better way for MEDIA_ROOT is,
try to make media path dynamic will be easy when you shift your project.
Settings.py
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media').replace('\\', '/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
urls.py
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Look at this
Solution 3 - Python
Just to add: in case the other answers do not work for you, try putting the static url before the other ones. Like so:
urlpatterns = static(...) + [...]
What may be happening is that some of your patterns in the list prevent the request from reaching the static handlers. So putting the static handlers first solves this. Worked for me.
Solution 4 - Python
This is a server error. I'm assuming you are using Nginx. Just add this in your Nginx Configuration file(/etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com) just under location /static/
location /media/ {
root /home/user/myprojectdir;
}
Here, user should be your username you created and myprojectdir should be your project directory.
Solution 5 - Python
In my development server I fixed it by commenting out these lines in settings.py
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
Solution 6 - Python
In template create link by anchor tag and add .url in the end to that fileobject e.g
{% for post in post %}
<a href="{{post.imagefilename.url}}" >
{% endfor %}
