Same value for MEDIA_URL and STATIC_URL¶
According to Django’s documentation, MEDIA_URL and STATIC_URL must have different values.
Anti-pattern¶
MEDIA_URL and STATIC_URL point to the same URL.
""" settings.py """
# Media and static root are identical
STATIC_URL = 'http://www.mysite.com/static'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://www.mysite.com/static'
Best practice¶
Ensure, STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL point to different URL’s.
""" settings.py """
STATIC_URL = 'http://www.mysite.com/static'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://www.mysite.com/media'
