Document setting up MEDIA_ROOT in the Django integration docs
An out-of-the-box Django project is not configured to serve user-uploaded files from MEDIA_ROOT; this needs to be added manually as per https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/#serving-files-uploaded-by-a-user-during-development . Fixes #2100

|

In this case, this should be placed at the end of the ``urlpatterns`` list, so that it does not override more specific URL patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, your project needs to be set up to serve user-uploaded files from ``MEDIA_ROOT``. Your Django project may already have this in place, but if not, add the following snippet to ``urls.py``:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
from django.conf import settings
|
||||
from django.conf.urls.static import static
|
||||
|
||||
urlpatterns = [
|
||||
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
|
||||
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this only works in development mode (``DEBUG = True``); in production, you will need to configure your web server to serve files from ``MEDIA_ROOT``. For further details, see the Django documentation: `Serving files uploaded by a user during development <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/#serving-files-uploaded-by-a-user-during-development>`_ and `Deploying static files <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/deployment/>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
With this configuration in place, you are ready to run ``./manage.py migrate`` to create the database tables used by Wagtail.
