Hi Elliot, Actually 'Django' doesn't need to find these at all, it's Apache that is having the issue. First off you probably want to be using mod_wsgi and not mod_python as that mod_python project is no longer actively maintained. What you need to do is add a <Directory> directive for your media locations such that Apache can find these files, or more correctly that Apache believes it is authorized to serve those files. Watch your Apache error log and you'll see tons of 404s for your media files. -- Frank Wiles Revolution Systems | http://www.revsys.com/ fr...@revsys.com | (800) 647-6298 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
