request media files in django when the debug is false

i tried to set media root and media url in but when the debug is false don't return anything
settings.py
...
DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = [
'127.0.0.1',
'0.0.0.0',
...
]
...
STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
BASE_DIR / "static",
]
STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'staticfiles'
MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media'
MEDIA_URL = 'media/'
urls.py
...
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
...
What should i do to return media files in my projects

I found the answer
urls.py
...
from django.urls import re_path
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.views.static import serve
...
urlpatterns = [
...
re_path(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
...
]
...
# urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
...
This re_path function will can request all the files in the MEDIA_ROOT in settings.py

When DEBUG=False, local files will not be accessible. You need to try any online storage for static and media files e.g. AWS S3 bucket etc.

How to serve static files in django 3.1

I'm use django 3.1 when I have the option DEBUG = True in my settings.py the static files are serve fine, but when I use DEBUG = False the static files are not serve I all ready try with this solution:
404 Static file not found - Django
In the answer like in de official docs of django use this:
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
]
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
But still doesn´t works. Someone have any idea why still doesn't works.

You can add this
settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
)
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
)
mkdir static
python manager.py collectstatic --noinput
python manager.py runserver
it works

Django 3.1 not serving media files correctly

I have a project running in Django 3.1, and suddenly it has started to fail serving media files (static files uploaded by users), even though I haven't changed anything in settings.py or elsewhere.
My main urls.py:
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('cart/', include('cart.urls', namespace='cart')),
path('', include('contacts.urls', namespace='contacts')),
path('customers/', include('customers.urls', namespace='customers')),
path('orders/', include('orders.urls', namespace='orders')),
path('account/', include('account.urls')),
path('', include('catalog.urls', namespace='catalog')),
]
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
From my settings.py:
from pathlib import Path
import os
# Build paths inside the project like this: BASE_DIR / 'subdir'.
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath( os.path.join(__file__, os.pardir))))
DEBUG = True
# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/static-files/
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join('static'), )
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
I don't know and can't figure out where the mistake is, but runserver just keeps throwing 404 when trying to load media files, even though static files (CSS/JS) are being served correctly.

your Urls looks fine, although i notes that you missing from django.contrib import admin.
About your settings, here is mine that works just fine for me.
Add import os to your settings.py if it is not there.

Display Static file Django and rest-framework

I need to Display the static file, I follow Django document but it is not displayed.
1.In Models file
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/')
2.In urls.py file
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
...
+ static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
3.In settings.py file
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'lost_items/static/')
]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
finally, I run this command
python manage.py collectstatic
when I GET API, the image in this URL
"image": "http://localhost:8000/media/images/n73.jpg"
So, When I click on it, I get the page not found, and:
The current path, media/images/money.jpg, didn't match any of these.

I assume that the images was uploaded by the user.
add this to your urls.py
if settings.DEBUG is True:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
All uploaded files or "media" will have the Media URL. It only makes sense that Media URL must be added to urls.py

django media hook not picking up the right directory

I have setup the following in my urls.py:
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT})
and my settings are:
MEDIA_ROOT = 'd:/~Sasha/Portman/media/'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://localhost:8000/media/'
and the following url:
http://localhost:8000/media/icons/151.png
returns:
"d:\install\python27\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\media\icons\151.png" does not exist
is there something else I'm missing?

The problem was that settings.ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX and MEDIA_ROOT were pointing to the same /media/ ending so r'^media/' was mixing them. Changed ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to /admin-media/ and it all works now.

You should have a project directory setting in settings.py that other settings use.
My setup:
BASE_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
...
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_PATH, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/static/admin/'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# Additional locations of static files
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'static').replace('\\', '/'),
os.path.join(BASE_PATH, 'static'),
)
and then in urls.py, at the end
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns("",
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root':settings.MEDIA_ROOT})
)
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
