Hi Michael,
Believe me, I've read the documentation, and I had already tried
specifying the images folder as path to media instead of the parent of
images, public.
Any way, here is my current urls.py document:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.conf import settings
from btaylor_design.views import home
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'', home),
)
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/Users/bt/django_projects/btaylor_design/
images'}),
)
I am using the .96 release, and the above is verbatim according to the
documentation for .96, available at:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/static_files/
So, according to the docs, I should be able to set the src of an image
tag to:
<img src="/site_media/my_image.jpg" />
When I run the following from the command line:
cd ~/django_projects/btaylor_design
python manage.py runserver 8080
and go to: http://127.0.0.1:8080
I get a big fat question mark where my image should be.
I followed the exact instructions, and again, it doesn't work. I can't
explain why. I have verified that the image exists at the folder
specified at '/Users/bt/django_projects/images/my_image.jpg'.
Here is the tail from the server:
Django version 0.96, using settings 'btaylor_design.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
[09/Feb/2008 11:58:42] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 39
[09/Feb/2008 11:58:42] "GET /site_media/my_image.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 39
Ideas?
Thank you,
Brandon
