Page not found error on django when try to upload image

In my Django project, I am trying to register a student. When I submit the registration form on the live server I got a Page not found (404) error. But it working perfectly on my local server. I think I got this problem for upload image because when I try to submit another form without any image it saves on the database perfectly.
This is the exact error I got.
Page not found (404)
Request Method: POST
Request URL: https://xxxxx.com/accounts/registration/student/
Raised by: accounts.views.register_student
Using the URLconf defined in coaching.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
ad/
accounts/
students/
teachers/
admin/
vedios/
[name='landingpage']
error [name='error_page']
^media\/(?P<path>.*)$
The current path, registration/student/, didn't match any of these.
This is the URL patterns related to this problem
from django.urls import path,include
from accounts import views
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
path('registration/student/', views.register_student, name='student_registration'),
path('registration/teacher/', views.register_teacher, name='teacher_registration'),
path('login/', views.login_view, name='login'),
path('logout/',views.logout_view,name="logout")
]
And this the view's method for that I got this error.
def register_student(request):
context={}
if request.POST:
form = RegistrationForm(request.POST,request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
user = form.save(commit=False)
user.is_student = True
user.save()
# login(self.request, user)
return redirect('login')
else:
context['form'] = form
else:
form = RegistrationForm()
context['form'] = form
return render(request, 'accounts/student_register.html',context)
And finally, this is the RegistrationForm() method
class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
"""docstring for ."""
image = forms.ImageField(label="Upload Your Image",widget = forms.FileInput(attrs={'class':'form-control','placeholder':"Your Image"}))
name = forms.CharField(label="Full Name",widget= forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Enter Your Full Name'}))
email = forms.EmailField(label="Email Address",help_text="We'll never share your email with anyone else.", widget= forms.EmailInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','aria-describedby':'emailHelp','placeholder':'Enter email'}))
phone_number = forms.CharField(label="Phone Number",widget= forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Enter Your Phone Number'}))
address = forms.CharField(label="Current Address",widget= forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Enter Your Current Address'}))
password1 = forms.CharField(label="Password",help_text="Don't share your password with others",widget= forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Enter Password'}))
password2 = forms.CharField(label="Confirm Password",help_text="",widget= forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control','placeholder':'Re-Enter Password'}))
class Meta:
"""docstring for ."""
model = get_user_model()
fields = ('image','name','email','phone_number','address','password1','password2')
This is the html form page I used
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="{%url 'student_registration' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for field in form %}
<div class="form-group">
{{ field.errors }}
{{ field.label_tag }}

{% endif %}

{% endfor %}

The problem is in the settings.py.
You have to change this code
MEDIA_URL = 'media/'
MEDIA_ROOT= os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
to this code
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
This should work OK now.

Cannot save an image to database using django

I project is supposed to be able to upload an image with a name then display the uploaded image and name. I have tried looking online for an answer to my problem but have found none. The problem basically is my django webapp is not saving a name(CharField)an and image(ImageField) to the database. I tried to do everything necessary for it to work but it's still not working. The following is my project. Thanks for your time.

It looks as if you are posting the form to the index. You should post it to the upload view.
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="{% url 'ImgApp:upload' %}">
You need to add a name to the URL pattern for this to work.
url(r'^upload/$',views.upload, name='upload'),
In your view, you need to move the context line out of the else block so that it runs for GET and POST request. That means that if the form is invalid, you'll see the errors on the template.
def upload(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form = ImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('ImgApp:home')
else:
form = ImageForm()
context = {"form": form}
return render(request, 'upload.html', context)
I've renamed a couple of variables to match the usual Django style (con to context, var_form to form). If you rename var_form, remember to update your template as well.

When I visit my homepage, I can't see any image. But I see image link If I open my browser dev tools.

if I click that image link from chrome dev tool. I got andjango doesn/t found that image url error.
Also my folder structure is:
mysite

The issue is that the your MEDIA_ROOT is not being served and Django cannot append the correct url. In your project urls.py add the following at the end:

Django | joined path is located outside of the base path component {% static img.thumbnail.url %}, Error 400 with whitenoise

I've finish my first app in Django and works perfectly, but still have pre-deployment problems since I set DEGUG=False ...
Here is just to display an image in a template... T_T
I was using this, but now it does'nt work when I use whitenoise to serve my image localy... And it return a Bad Request(400) error...
Models.py
class GalleryItem(models.Model):
thumbnail = models.ImageField(blank=True,upload_to='gallery/thumb')
img_wide = models.ImageField(blank=True,upload_to='gallery')
template.py
{% load staticfiles %}

Thanks a lot for helping ! :)
EDIT :
principal structure
project folder

Bro, you cant load staticfile when you use images on models, there is 2 different ways to work with images in django.
Statics files is for files that are static(images files like logo of your company, banners, javascript files, css files)
Media Files is for dinamic files like user photo, user gallery, product images
Static Files - This way you use your staticfiles save at your static folder where you place it in static root at your settings.py and then you use {% load staticfiles %} and {% static '' %}
Media Files - This files is that one you save with your models, ImageField, FileField and etc... that one you do not load as static, cuz they are not a static file (you can edit it from your models), that do not means you will save it on your database, this will generate a copy of your file with hashed name on it at you media folder where you place it in media root at your settings.py and media files you use like that {{ ..url }} so in your case gallery.thumbnail.url (btw, remind to call your gallery object at your views and send it to template to allow your to use it)
So the other anwers was right, you need to decide what you want to use, keep in mind that your path localy is different where you deploy, remember to use environment variables with the right path to set up in your settings
Django Docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/files/

I guess it was a security issue. Even if "whitenoise" is good to serve true static files in production, it can't serve media files.
I was making a structure error :
# Don't place your 'media' files IN your 'static' file like this :
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'wt/static/media/')
MEDIA_ROOT never have to be in the "static" file of your project (even if you can make it works in some ways, it's not a good practice I think).
'MEDIA' files (in production), have to serve out of the Django project. I've read somewhere that we have to use a CDN. And firstly I choose CloudFlare (because it's free), but it wasn't working, cause you need a subdomain/hostname to point your MEDIA_ROOT, and Cloudflare doesn't give that. Finally, I choose Amazon S3.
So, in conclusion, write something like {% static img.thumbnail.url %} makes no sense. Because everything uploaded via admin/user haven't to be in "static".
Use {{ img.thumbnail.url }} instead.

paste the below code in settings.py file
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# Add these new lines
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
MEDIA_URL = "/media/"
and in urls.py
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root = settings.STATIC_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root = settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Try <img src="{{ img.thumbnail.image.url }}" alt="{{ img.alt}}">
