Hi David,
I don't anything wrong with what you've typed. I have one suggestion:
use the os.path module from Python to avoid hard-coding the paths to
your project. Inside of settings.py, you could add:
import os
# CURRENT_PATH points to your project's root directory
# (the directory in which your settings.py file resides)
CURRENT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)
# points to /path/to/project/media_site/
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(CURRENT_PATH, "media_site")
Then, back in urls.py, import your settings and use:
{ 'document_root' : os.path.join(settings.CURRENT_PATH,
"media_site") })
Just a suggestion to help troubleshoot the issue. The only other
thought I had is to remove the dash from the name of your project;
I've had problems with directories containing dashes in the past, but
don't spend too much time testing that, since I'm not sure why that
would be causing the problem here.
Good luck!
