My Django files are loading after upload and are shown in the media folder, however I cannot access them at localhost:<PORT>/media/<FILENAME._EXT>. I've looked at several other answers on stackoverflow and they haven't worked. For example adding the urlpatterns += static(...), having DEBUG=True in settings.py.
When accessing: http://localhost:8000/media/controller.gif:
Error:
lightchan-backend-1 | Not Found: /media/controller.gif
lightchan-backend-1 | 2022-03-06 16:37:34,875 WARNING Not Found: /media/controller.gif
In settings.py:
DEBUG = True
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
In my urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
path('comment/<int:comment_id>/', views.comment, name='comment'),
path('comments/', views.comments, name='comments'),
path('reply/<int:incoming_id>/', views.reply, name='reply')
]
# if settings.DEBUG is True:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
