Hi Guys,
I am building a django app that runs out of my /Users/me/Dropbox directory.
Localhost is pointed at my /Users/me/Sites directory.
mod_wsgi installed.
apache installed
django installed and app working fine in development mode
I am trying to embed media in a template
This media comes from a directory outside of the django app - in the root
of the machine - /PROYECTOS
The permissions for the directories and preceding directories are readable
by _www
I think that I understand that
- mod_wsgi will serve the dynamic files
- apache will serve the static files like the css and template files, as
well as the media files I am referencing in the /PROYECTOS directory
I have the following in my settings.py:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE, "static"), )
STATIC_URL = "/static/"
MEDIA_URL = "/PROYECTOS/"
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'mbrain.wsgi.application'
In the /etc/apache2/extra/vhosts/localhost.conf I have:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/localhost"
ServerName localhost
WSGIDaemonProcess localhost
python-path=/Users/me/Dropbox/mBrain_Adam/mbrain/:/Users/me/Dropbox/mBrain_Adam/mbrain/venv/include/python2.7
WSGIProcessGroup localhost
Alias /proyectos/ /PROYECTOS/
<Directory /PROYECTOS>
Require all granted
</Directory>
WSGIScriptAlias / /Users/me/Dropbox/mBrain_Adam/mbrain/mbrain/wsgi.py
<Directory /Users/me/Dropbox/mBrain_Adam/mbrain/mbrain>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
So to embed a media file in a template I have this as the url:
{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ asset.assetPath }}
When I load the page in a browser the console shows the fully expanded path
for the media asset but with a 404 error - HTTP/1.1" 404 3045.
I’d really appreciate any feedback on whether I am approaching this the
right way or if I have completely missed the concept.
Also any help on that 404 error would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Adam
