Serving the stored images

Next, to enable the server to serve the stored images, we have to modify the /moviesstore/urls.py file and add the following in bold:

…
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('home.urls')),
    path('movies/', include('movies.urls')),
]
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL,
    document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

With this, you can serve the media files stored in the MEDIA_ROOT directory when the MEDIA_URL URL prefix is accessed.

Note

It’s important to stop the server and run the server again to apply the previous changes.

Now that the image configuration is done, let’s add movies to the admin panel.
