Django admin: image saved but error occured when click

I am ashamed to ask a question of that sort but I still can not solve my problem. I normally uploaded image in my media directory and can see image link in my admin but if I click on link I get:

Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/photo/img/9.jpg Using the URLconf defined in TeamStudy.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^admin/ The current URL, photo/img/9.jpg, didn't match any of these. my project structure:

src
static/
      photo/ 
           img/

settings:

PROJECT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(PROJECT_DIR)

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'photo')
MEDIA_URL = '/photo/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "static")
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

urls.py

urlpatterns = [
   url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
]

I suspect it perhaps quite simple and I miss something. Please point me.

Solution

  • You need to add the media MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL in your urlpatterns

    urlpatterns = [
   url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

    Accessing "Media" files in Django

    Django classifies user files in two types

    1. Static files
    2. Media files

    this link helps you understand the difference between them

    Your issues deals with Media files.

    In future development, you may need to serve static files, to serve them you will need to add STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL to the urlpatterns in a similar way that MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL are added
