It's actually a mix - if you have MEDIA_ROOT defined in settings.py, then it will use that as the first part of the path. Then, what you pass in the upload_to field will be appended to that. So, in my case, I have "MEDIA_ROOT = '/Users/storefiles/' in my settings.py folder, and the upload_to param in my model set to 'pluginFiles/%Y/%m/%H/%M/'. What ultimately happens, then, is that the file gets stored here: /Users/storefiles/pluginfiles/2011/10/06/02/38/somefile.zip So, you must have at least one of those set and the path must be fully write enabled for whatever process is running your Django app. For my testing, I just made /Users/storefiles writable by everyone since I don't really care about securing that directory on my dev Mac. jay On Oct 6, 1:08 pm, Ian <icinna...@gmail.com> wrote: > I can't seem to get it working.
