#15199: Allow MEDIA_ROOT inside STATIC_ROOT
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Reporter: brutasse | Owner:
Status: new | Milestone: 1.3
Component: django.contrib.staticfiles | Version: SVN
Keywords: | Triage Stage: Unreviewed
Has patch: 0 |
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
I have the following layout:
{{{
STATIC_ROOT = '/path/to/static/'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT = STATIC_ROOT + 'media/'
MEDIA_URL = STATIC_URL + 'media/'
}}}
Basically, MEDIA_ROOT is a subdirectory of STATIC_ROOT.
With runserver, I won't be able to serve my media files. When I try to
fetch a media file, the !StaticFilesHandler tries to handle it (since its
URL starts with STATIC_URL) but no finder will be able to resolve its
path.
The handler then raises a 404 even if I have a pattern in my urlconf to
serve my media files.
After discussing it on IRC, it looks like two things are needed to support
this:
* Patch the contrib.staticfiles handler to specifically ignore anything
inside MEDIA_URL
* Add extra checks to the collectstatic management command to make sure
collectstatic won't write anything inside MEDIA_ROOT (which could
potentially overwrite some user data).
