I have set up a Django application that uses images. I think I have set up the media settings MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL correctly. However the images don’t show up. Do you know what can be the problem?

Let consider this example:

The image files are under /home/www/media/app/photos and we are trying to request http://example.com/photos/123.jpg

Should I use these settings?

MEDIA\_ROOT = /home/www/media  MEDIA_URL = http://example.com/app

UPDATE: Forgot to mention that I’m using built-in development server.

  1. Serving static content from Django is discouraged from the developer themselves (if I’m not wrong, it only works when in debug mode). You should use a dedicated web server, instead.

    If you really need to do that, anyway, read the documentation on how to serve static files.
