Re: SuspiciousOperation exception on ImageField upload

Hi Binny,

Your problem sounds like one I had months ago. I got this response at the time:

You need to make sure that the same process running your python interpreter has write permissions to your media directory.

From StackOverflow:

"The process that is running your Python interpreter doesn't have permission to write into the media directory. You'll need to either chgrp or chrown the media directory to the same group as your Python process, and ensure you have at least g+rwx on directories and g+rw on files."

/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/goibibo/travelibibo/static/refundsReports/%Y%m%d

And the first back slash is must. I can't remove that. So please let me know how can i handle this case.

Thanks,

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?
