Hi,

I am creating an app and want to store the database and the images
within the project. The main motive behind this is I want to create a
database with django's admin interface and want to use it on other
computers later. In order to do this I will need to use relative
paths. I tried using os.path.dirname but doesnt seem to work for me.
below is the initial part of my settings file. I am using sqlite3. Can
someone please guide me in the right path.

Thank you



import os.path
import sys
import re

PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

DEBUG = True
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG

ADMINS = (
    # ('Your Name', 'your_em...@domain.com'),
)

MANAGERS = ADMINS

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add
'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME':
os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)),                      # Or
path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for
localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for
default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}


TIME_ZONE = 'America/Chicago'

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'

SITE_ID = 1

USE_I18N = True

USE_L10N = True

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static')

MEDIA_URL = '/static/'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'
