Check what's getting rendered in your HTML file for the src of that img.
2. Make sure you're using a RequestContext, otherwise you won't have MEDIA_URL available to your templates. 3. Figure out why public_html is showing up in the path reported by the error log. Some information that will help with debugging: * Are you using apache, the dev server, or something else? * If the dev server, where does your URLConf point to for static images? * What does the URLConf and view look like for the page that's getting rendered?
