Embedded Images in emails

[Bit Rate]

I recently change my email from plain text to html.

This includes the registration verification email, as well as any other email regarding updates and notifications.

It works fine in development, but not in production.

In my production setting, django is unable to find the image and gives me the following error:

Exception Type:
FileNotFoundErrorException Value:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/logo256.png'

I have tried everything and is now out of ideas, hoping someone here ran into the same issue and can help me please.

Here is my code from the views.py file:

def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

        form = self.form_class(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():

            user = form.save(commit=False)

            user.user_email = user.email

            user.is_active = False # Deactivate account till it is confirmed

            user.save()

            # Email with html template

            from_email = settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL

            to_email = user.email

            subject = 'Activate Your Telos Central Account'

            image_path = 'media'

            image_name = 'logo256.png'

            file_path = os.path.join(image_path, image_name)

            text_content = "Text content: Hi {{ user.username }}, Please click on the link to confirm your registration, https://{{ domain }}{% url 'activate' uidb64=uid token=token %}  If you think, it's not you, then just ignore this email."

            html_tmp  = get_template('email/account_activation_email.html')

            ctx = {

                'user': user,

                'domain': 'teloscentral.com',

                'uid': urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(user.pk)),

                'token': account_activation_token.make_token(user),

            }

            html_content = html_tmp.render(ctx)

            msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject,

                                     text_content,

                                     from_email,

                                     [to_email])

            msg.attach_alternative(html_content, 'text/html')

            msg.content_subtype = 'html'  # set the primary content to be text/html

            msg.mixed_subtype = 'related' # it is an important part that ensures embedding of an image

            # attached image to the message before sending the mail

            with open(file_path, mode='rb') as f:

                image = MIMEImage(f.read())

                msg.attach(image)

                image.add_header('Content-ID', '<{name}>'.format(name=image_name))

                image.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'inline', filename=image_name)

            

            

            msg.send()

            # Show message that mail has been sent

            messages.success(request, ('Please Confirm your email to complete registration.'))

            # Go to login page

            return redirect('login')

        return render(request, self.template_name, {'form': form})

Have you tried checking if there is a file located at '/media/logo256.png'?

Is that part of "everything"?

Kind regards,
