Django image upload not saving

[Bobby Gulshan]

No errors when hitting upload. But the image doesn't appear where I have indicated it ought to. Put an absolute path in MEDIA_ROOT and referenced the same in (upload_to) param ImageField. Not sure what I am missing. 

Model:

    class FileUploadHandler(models.Model):

        title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

        file = models.ImageField(upload_to='/Python27/Lib/site-packages/django/bin/mideastinfo/wiki/static/')

View:

    from models import Article, Edit

    from forms import ArticleForm, EditForm

    from forms import *

    from PIL import Image

    from models import FileUploadHandler

    def image_upload(request):

        if request.method == 'POST':

            form = UploadImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES)

            if form.is_valid():

                FileUploadHandler(request.FILES['image'])

                return render_to_response('wiki/gallery.html')

        else:

            form = UploadImageForm()

        return render_to_response('wiki/gallery.html', RequestContext(request, {'form': form}))

I always follow a similar pattern for media uploads and it works, so here it is:

in settings.py

PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'media')

in your model:

file = models.ImageField(upload_to='wiki')

say you upload "myfile.doc", it will end up in:

...your_project_path/media/wiki/myfile.doc

Then you just setup your nginx to serve from media folder.

Your upload_to path looks like an absolute directory, which means that
Django will attempt to store the file in that subdirectory of the path
you've configured for MEDIA_ROOT.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.FileField.storage

You want to do like Mario suggested and set 'upload_to' to a relative
path from the MEDIA_ROOT where you want images for that model stored.
