MEDIA_ROOT & MEDIA_URL are different, MEDIA_ROOT
means you are storing the media files there.. but MEDIA_URL is the url through you can access the file
extend FileSystemStorage
class and set base_url value
class MyStorage(FileSystemStorage):
base_url = '/custom/url/'
fs = MyStorage(location=settings.STATIC_ROOT + '/XML_Uploads/')
class ImporterFile(models.Model):
file = models.FileField(storage=fs)
