So in my template {{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ p.images }} returns the proper URL http://127.0.0.1:8000/site_media/media/products/co_macysLogo3.gif, but when I open it I get Page Not Found.
The file is there, so I am not sure why is it complaining. I’ve looked at 3 or 4 other questions on SO that are similar to mine but none of their answers solved my problem. Strange that my {{STATIC_URL}} works just fine, but the not {{MEDIA_URL}}. I would of course use STATIC_URL if I could, just to get my application to work, but unfortunately Django’s ImageField upload_to parameter only uploads images to media folder.
UPDATE: Changing MEDIA_ROOT to MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "static") and calling my image via {{ STATIC_URL }}{{ p.images }} solved the problem. I wish there was a better way. I still don’t understand why Django can’t freaking serve an image file from MEDIA_URL.
Just a quick example of what works for me on one my projects.
