Hello,

I'm trying to work with a model which accepts a logo image upload via
an ImageField. My a cut down version of my model is below:

class Promoter(models.Model):
        name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        logo = models.ImageField(upload_to="/images/promoters/%Y/%m/%d/")

When I try to upload the logo via the built-in admin interface, I get
the following error:

SuspiciousOperation at /admin/promoters/promoter/add/
Attempted access to '/images/promoters/2008/08/19/kitten.jpg' denied.

In settings.py, my MEDIA_ROOT is set to an accessible directory in my
home folder: '/home/username/projectname/media/', and this folder has
it's permissions set to 777.

I'm currently using the ./manage.py webserver, which (I assume) runs
as the same user which starts the process; this is the same user as
owns the folder specified above.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
