django | Save the images in another MEDIA directory and not in the correct path

  • 772

Instead of saving the images in the root "media\devices" directory, it saves them in "web01\media\devices". What's going on? Thanks.

enter image description here

models.py file

class ImagenDispositivo(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField('Nombre',max_length=50)
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='dispositivos/')

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Imagen dispositivo'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Imagen de dispositivos'
        ordering = ['name']

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

settings>local.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media")

settings>base.py

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

    That happens because you have a settings/base.py folder instead of a settings.py file.

    The solution is to change your BASE_DIR to this:

    BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))))

    Your old BASE_DIR only went up 2 levels, but with this one I left you it goes up 3 levels.
