urls

# Static files url.
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
                                   {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),

wsgi

import os, sys

sys.path.insert(0,  os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), os.pardir,  os.pardir)))
sys.path.insert(0,  os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), os.pardir)))

from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "shivablog.settings"
application = WSGIHandler()

settings

MEDIA_ROOT = ''

MEDIA_URL = "/media/"

STATIC_ROOT = ''

STATIC_URL = "/site_media/static/"

How to make my media files available? What the configurations are correct? After collectstatic all the static and media files collects to site_media/static. Should I get my media files from this directory (site_media/static)?

    You should not have an entry in your urls.py file for media or static files. If you do at least wrap them in a cause which only does this in debug mode = True.

    https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/static-files/

    (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
                                   {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
(r'^site_media/static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
                                {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),

    Also your .htaccess file has the following lines which point to the same folder, I think they should be different as your static files are not in your media folder.

    Alias /media/ /home/i159/workspace/prod-shivablog/shivablog/site_media/static/
Alias /static/ /home/i159/workspace/prod-shivablog/shivablog/site_media/static/
