Images from ImageField in Django don't load in template

Question

I\'m building a gallery using Django(1.5.1) on my local machine. In my Album model I have a ImageField. There is a view to show all images of an album. It works

Answer 1

Check in your settings.py you have define MEDIA_ROOT and 'MEDIA_URL' (and they are correct). The MEDIA_ROOT specifies an absolute folder on your machine where media will be stored.

So for an example:

MEDIA_ROOT = '/myfolder/'

This would mean it would look for image at:

/myfolder/images/albums/

Next in your settings.py check your MEDIA_ROOT location: i.e.

MEDIA_URL = 'http://localhost/myfolder/'

So your images:

This would relate to:

http://localhost/myfolder/images/albums/

Hope this helps.
