Django Media Files Not Showing

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)

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.

Only Django Admin pages visible while rest of Site blank in production

Im trying to host my site on heroku on my localhost my project is fine with no issues , on deploying it all I get are blank pages (I inspected it and elements are shown but nothing is visible on webpage)apart from admin pages I installed all the necessary packages as I was deploying that is to say gunicorn and whitenoise as well as setting STATIC_ROOT and STATICFILES_STORAGE . I at first set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC = 1 and later set it to 0 when deploying, I have failed to see any error that might be causing the issue
some of my files for context
settings
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_dev')]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
urls
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf.urls import handler404
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('users/', include('user.urls')),
path('users/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
path('', include('pages.urls')),
path('store/', include('store.urls')),
#path("djangorave/", include("djangorave.urls", namespace="djangorave")),

Django CKEditor Image Uploads not appearing

This is a duplicate of Django Ckeditor image browser not finding images, but I believe the answer there is wrong (there is an obvious bug in it with an undefined variable, not to mention the lack of Python indentation).
I'm using Django CKEditor 5.0.3 and Django 1.9.6. I am able to upload images in my admin, but they appear as a red X within the admin and do not appear on my site.
I'm still struggling a bit with MEDIA_ROOT and whatnot, but I think I have it right:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)
MEDIA_URL = "image_upload/"
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "image_upload")
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads/'
CKEDITOR_IMAGE_BACKEND = "pillow"
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_SLUGIFY_FILENAME = False
My urls.py, including my attempt at cleaning up the linked answer:
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib import admin
from mainsite.views import HomepageView, AboutView, ContactView
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls, name="admin"),
url(r'^$', HomepageView.as_view(), name="homepage"),
url(r'^about/', AboutView.as_view(), name="about"),
url(r'^contact/', ContactView.as_view(), name="contact"),
url(r'^blog/', include("blog.urls", namespace="blog")),
url(r'^ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')),
]
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += [
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$',
'django.views.static.serve', {
'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
}
),
]
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

Using CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads/' makes django-ckeditor to upload an image to /media/uploads/, like:
settings.py:
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/'),
]
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads/'
When using the Django's dev server, static files are served by default but not media files, so you can force the server to consider them, the url configuration below should work.
urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings
from django.views.static import serve
from .views import HomeView
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^$', HomeView.as_view(), name='home'),
url(r'^ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')),
# serving media files only on debug mode
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += [
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, {
'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT
}),
]
The missing function patterns from the old example was an old function I believe used on Django 1.6 or 1.7.

After installing ckeditor, perform the following :
In Settings.py:
add 'ckeditor' and 'ckeditor_uploader' into INSTALLED_APPS.
Add CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads_directory/'
(Do not join MEDIA_ROOT with the upload_directory, ckeditor will take the MEDIA_ROOT as its root upload directory)
In your models files:
USE : from ckeditor_uploader import RichTextUploadingField and modify your required model field to type RichTextUploadingField
In urls.py:
add re_path(r'^ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')) into urlpatterns

Using Django 1.8 with django-ckeditor 5.3.0, I was getting the exact same symptoms as those above (uploading files worked, but the src attribute of the <img> tag was set incorrectly, causing a red "X" in the preview and broken image links upon publication).
In my case, however, I didn't have to change anything in urls.py. My problem was that I had:
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = os.path.join(MEDIA_ROOT, "ckeditor")
So my mistake was giving CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH the path where I wanted ckeditor to upload to (logical, no?).
The fix was to change the above line to
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = "ckeditor"
In hindsight I can see how this allows django-ckeditor the ability to use the MEDIA_ROOT for uploading and the MEDIA_URL for serving. Still I thought someone should say it: "Don't use the full path when setting CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH!"
I hope this saves others some time.

For Django 4 the steps to enable image or file upload in django-ckeditor is:
1. Install django-ckeditor
pip install django-ckeditor
2. Update settings.py
Add file upload path:
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = "uploads/"
Add ckeditor,ckeditor_uploader in INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
# plugins
'ckeditor',
'ckeditor_uploader'
]
3. Update urls.py
Add path('ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')) in urlpatterns:
urlpatterns = [
...
path('ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
4. Use RichTextUploadingField in models
from ckeditor_uploader.fields import RichTextUploadingField
class ResearchTopic(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
description = RichTextUploadingField()
Tested with:
Django==4.0.4
django-ckeditor==6.4.0
References:
django-ckeditor documentation

The #Mohammed-tayab's solution worked for me with a little modification:
from ckeditor_uploader.fields import RichTextUploadingField

Django file-browser and error 404

I'm using django admin site (v1.9.6) and recently installed file-browser for managing images and documents. I followed installation steps and file-browser is shown in admin interface but I cant upload images and documents. When trying to access them 404 errors shows up (also thumbnails are not shown in file-browser page):
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/uploads/aaaaaaaaaaalula.png
But the file is there, if I make
ls media/uploads/aaaaaaaaaaalula.png
it shows the file, so it's uploaded.
my settings.py:
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media') MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'
and url.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from filebrowser.sites import site
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/filebrowser', include(site.urls)),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^$', include(admin.site.urls)),
]
Thanks in advance for help.

Ok, here is the solution:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/#serving-static-files-during-development
The issue was that I was testing django-filebrowser with development server

You are not putting url for displaying image.
In setting.py-
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media/")
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
In URLs.py--
Url(r'^media/(?^<path>.*)$','django.views.static.serve',{'document_root':
settings.MEDIA_ROOT,}),
I think it can help you

You can do:
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns = [
#your urls
]
if settings.DEBUG: # will be 'True' in development
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
