Page not found 404 Django media files

I am able to upload the files to media folder /peaceroot/www/media/ that I have set up in settings.py as below

MEDIA_ROOT = '/peaceroot/www/media/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

But through admin I tried to access the uploaded image file, and got a 404 error:

http://localhost:8000/media/items/1a39246c-4160-4cb2-a842-12a1ffd72b3b.jpg

It exists at peaceroot/www/media/items/1a39246c-4160-4cb2-a842-12a1ffd72b3b.jpg.

Add media url entry in your project (not app) urlpatterns:

from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings

...
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

You also need to make sure (on development mode only of course) that you have the debug flag set to True DEBUG=True in your settings.py file.

This is a server error. I'm assuming you are using Nginx. Just add this in your Nginx Configuration file(/etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com) just under location /static/

location /media/ {
    root /home/user/myprojectdir;
}

Here, user should be your username you created and myprojectdir should be your project directory.

In template create link by anchor tag and add .url in the end to that fileobject e.g

{% for post in post %}

   <a href="{{post.imagefilename.url}}" > 

{% endfor %}

In my development server I fixed it by commenting out these lines in settings.py

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
     os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)

The better way for MEDIA_ROOT is,

try to make media path dynamic will be easy when you shift your project.

Settings.py

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


MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media').replace('\\', '/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

urls.py

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)

Look at this

Just to add: in case the other answers do not work for you, try putting the static url before the other ones. Like so:

urlpatterns = static(...) + [...]

What may be happening is that some of your patterns in the list prevent the request from reaching the static handlers. So putting the static handlers first solves this. Worked for me.
