Question

I am trying to serve static files from another domain (sub domain of current domain). To serve all media files I used this settings:

MEDIA_URL = http://media.bud-inform.co.ua/

So when in template I used

{{ MEDIA_URL }}

it was replace with the setting above. Now I am trying to serve admin media files from the same subdomain, I changed the settings this way:

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = http://media.bud-inform.co.ua/admin_media/ ,

and expected that all calls to media from my admin site will be made to this url.... But actually it didn t work this way, I still see paths to CSS made as following:

http://bud-inform.co.ua/media/css/login.css

Could you suggest how to serve admin media files correctly

Answer 1

MEDIA_URL and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX are two different things. One is the location of your media files, while the other is the location of the django admin system s media files.

You have to make sure that the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX points to somewhere where you re actually serving the admin media. Django doesn t handle that step for you.

The django admin media is at django/contrib/admin/media/. Copy or symlink that directory somewhere publicly visible and set ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to reflect where you put it.
