I got it :-)

import os
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# MEDIA_ROOT = (
#       os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'static/media/'),
# )

MEDIA_ROOT = '/Users/mjdavies/Sites/django/governors/static/media/'

statically pointing the media root works


I use the same method above to grab templates, and that works ok

at least we got it sorted

thanks again
