Try this,
settings.py
# typically, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'media')
MEDIA_ROOT = '<your_path>/media'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
.html

Caveat
Beware! using Context()
will yield you an empty value for {{MEDIA_URL}}
. You must use RequestContext()
, instead.
I hope, this will help.
