Django messages not displaying message

I'm trying to use django messages to notify user if form was submitted successfully or not. But nothing pops up when I submit the form no matter what. I've gone through the views.py code and template and I don't seem to anything wrong. I've even tried changing the default messages backend storage to session yet nothing.
MESSAGE_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.messages.storage.session.SessionStorage'
views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render, HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect, redirect
from django.contrib import messages
from .forms import MyUserCreationForm
import bcrypt
def register(request):
if request.method == "POST":
# Populate form using submitted data
form = MyUserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# Clone form model
user = form.save(commit=False)
password = user.password
# Validate password length
if len(password) > 25:
messages.error(
request, "PASSWORD MUST BE LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 25 CHARACTER LENGTH")
# Hash user password
bytes = password.encode('utf-8')
salt = bcrypt.gensalt()
hash = bcrypt.hashpw(bytes, salt)
# Save modified form to database
user.password = hash
user.save()
messages.success(request, "ACCOUNT CREATED SUCCESSFULLY!")
messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO,
'Thanks for reaching out! We will be in contact soon!',
extra_tags='ex-tag')
return redirect('register')
# Create empty form
form = MyUserCreationForm()
return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form})

Documentations:
If you’re using the context processor, your template should be
rendered with a RequestContext. Otherwise, ensure messages is
available to the template context.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/contrib/messages/#displaying-messages
you don't send messages or RequestContext in your context:
return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form})
Probably it should be something like that:
return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form, 'messages':get_messages(request)})

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 }}

{% 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.

Django app links not working in production using Heroku

I have pushed my app to a production build using Heroku and since I was previously logged in, I am taken to my home page as my current user, however if I go to logout it re-renders the homepage and I get a messages.error of 'User does not exist'. The app can be found at https://micro-blog-site.herokuapp.com and other details can be found below.
EDIT: I was able to logout through the admin app and it appears that neither the login, or register links work.
Here are the Heroku logs when clicking Logout

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.
My projectl directories:

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.
