I am not able to display media files on Cpanel shared hosting Django web app. I receive a Error 404 URL Not Found whenever I try to access the media file.
I have specified + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) in my urls.py file.
This error only occurs whenever DEBUG = False. I am using whitenoise to serve the static files without any issue it is only the media directory that causes the 404 web error.

I am using Python v3.8.6, Django=2.1 and CPanel Shared Hosting via NameCheap.
I know it's recommended to have a webserver to store and serve media files in Production Environment but I am unable to edit the Apache httpd.conf file as mentioned in the Django documentation.

I have deployed my Django online judge project on AWS EC2 using Nginx and Gunicorn I am taking user code in a string variable and writing it to a file in my project directory and it's working fine in development server but after deployment the program unable to write code in the file. for eg:-
lets say a user have submitted code in c++ language so I took that code in a string variable and I open the my .cpp file via open() function in my views.py and writing the code in it.
filepath = os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, 'language', 'forcpp.cpp')
cpp_code=open(filepath,"w")
cpp_code.write(user_problem_code)
cpp_code.close()
I have tried to modify path in every possible way but got unlucky in every try
I have my files in language folder in which I want to write user submitted code and my views.py are in problempg application
my project directory structure:
online_judge_project/

may be the path I am using in development is different in EC2 server. I have develop this project on a windows machine and I am deploying it on Ubantu EC2 server or it's due to Nginx?
I'm quite new to django development, tired of searching for this particular case of mine.
I have django app running on my windows 10 with debug = False. I am just about to deploy my app to digital ocean droplet.
I am facing so many deployment and static + media file issues. I kind of figured out static files, they are fine, media files are also loaded.
But, when I upload a new image, access it directly, it says the resource I'm looking for isn't found. But it's 100% uploaded to media/images folder, and I can see it. Today, I think I found the some solution, I can access the media files only after I reload the django server. I want to know why is that?

And my wsgi.py because I changed it with WhiteNoise app for serving static + media files
import os
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'MarketingNotes.settings')
application = get_wsgi_application()
from whitenoise import WhiteNoise
application = WhiteNoise(application, root='c:/Users/Peter/Django/MarketingNotes/mnotes/static')
application.add_files('c:/Users/Peter/Django/MarketingNotes/media', prefix='media/')
Then I tried to find some way of reloading the server when the user uploads an image, it kind of seems like a bad idea though, so, now, am I supposed to figure out some linux code to reload the gunicorn server in my droplet, or does django have anything to reload the server once the media folder is changed?
Sorry for my english
UPDATE
I found the solution, it was actually django problem, I saw in some post somebody say that django doesn't serve media files in production, and for serving media files I had to configure my nginx server. So I edited /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/myapp, added media there, and as soon as new files are uploaded, nginx is serving my media files.
Thank you all.

Try to replace these settings in settings.py, if it doesn't works it means it's your IDE issue ..
It is related with Whitenoise.
Whitenoise only checks for static files at startup and so files added after the app starts won't be seen.
Since, Whitenose is not suitable for serving user-uploaded media files.
Please check Whitenose official docs.

Im very new to django and this is sorta my first website. So if theres any help i would really appreciate it!! thank you! :D
To serve static files in Heroku you must use Whitenoise.
if you don't know how to use that check Heroku documentation Here
I think you have a global static folder that are not tied to any particular app.
if you have static folder inside each app, django will not have a problem to collect static files and put them inside staticfiles, but in your case you need to tell django that there is global static folder that is not tied to particular app to collect static files from it:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
I keep getting this error when i try to import my models.py file into views.py or any of the other python script in my App directory,
I have the SECRET_KEY in settings.py and also add app in the list of INSTALLED_APPS,
wsgi.py contains
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'projectname.settings') # I replaced my project name
manage.py also contains
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'projectname.settings')
I have checked through other people's installations in StackOverflow posts. My code works but importing models just break it
I use this command to import my class
from app_name.models import subscribers
and subscribers is defined thus
class subscribers(models.Model):
name = models.CharField('Name', max_length=120)
email = models.CharField('Email', max_length=120)
access_token = models.TextField()
expires_in = models.DateTimeField('token expiry date')
I have already executed makemigrations and migrate commands but being a newbie I don't know where else to look. Please save a soul it's been 3 days

It looks like the following import is causing the problem:
from oauth_outlook.views import gettoken
Importing views or models in the settings can cause circular imports and lead to the SECRET_KEY error message even when it is set. I don’t like the way django-lockout is encouraging you to import views for the LOCKDOWN_VIEW_EXCEPTIONS setting.
I suggest you set LOCKDOWN_URL_EXCEPTIONS instead, then the import isn’t required.
LOCKDOWN_URL_EXCEPTIONS = (
r'^gettoken$', # replace with gettoken view
)
