Answer 1

mkdir(name, mode)

Exception Type: OSError at /admin/products/photo/add/

but your application is deployed at

/var/www/django_projects/gangr/../gangr/

Do you have a directory path set to an absolute path "/admin/products/photo/add/" rather than something relative like "admin/products/photo/add/"?

Check the MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL in your settings.py file.
