* status: new => closed * resolution: => worksforme Comment: Here's what I understand from your report (I see you aren't a native speaker): - `settings.MEDIA_ROOT` is a symlink — for instance, `/var/www/media -> /mnt/storage/media` - you save a model that has an `ImageField`, without providing any value — `instance = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1); instance.my_image = None; instance.save()` - the symlink gets deleted I tried that, and I can't reproduce the problem. To be honest, it sounds extremely unlikely that Django would delete a directory or a symlink like that. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17812#comment:2> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
