Can't locate 'media' directory

[django-user59]

Hi,

I attempted to add 'media' directory to the root of my project and placed a css file and some ajax javascript. The server runtime is unable to locate it. Can someone help?

I have the following in settings.py

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

MEDIA_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/'

The console error I get is:

C:\dev\Projects\ajax_tut\ajax_tut>python ../manage.py runserver

Validating models...

0 errors found

Django version 1.4, using settings 'ajax_tut.settings'

Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

[15/May/2012 19:11:28] "GET /media/jquery-1.2.6.min.js HTTP/1.1" 404 2342

Where do I place this directory and what do I set in settings.py and which directory do I launch the server? Once again, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

hi,

your media folder location should be 

<ROOT_PATH>/media   

example: your  ROOT_PATH  is c:\project\ajax_tut

then your media file should be 

c:\project\ajax_tut\media

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

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'     <---- like this should be ok.

you may try. hope it helps.

Regards,

MH

No, this did not work. Is there a way to print what the ROOT_PATH is, on an HTML page?

hi,

you may try this way.

in your settings.py

import os

ROOT_PATH  =  'c:/project/ajax_tut'   # take note. need to use black slash.
