Django not recognizing the MEDIA_URL path?

Question

So I\'m trying to get TinyMCE up and running on a simple view function, but the path to the tiny_mce.js file gets screwed up. The file is located at /Users/home/Django/tinyMCE/m

Answer 1

It looks like your are using the debug server (your url is http://127.0.0.1:8000/...) . Did you install the static serve in your urls.py?

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        (r'^media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes':True}),
)

The 'show_indexes':True options make possible to browse your media. Go to your medias root http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/ and see it there is something
