Body
I have the following model field in a django project: <pre><code>headshot = models.ImageField(upload_to='/tmp', blank=True, null=True) </code></pre> <h3>settings.py</h3> <pre><code># format <project>/<app> MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/username/webapps/django/myproject/books/media/' </code></pre> I have created a directory: <code>/home/username/webapps/django/myproject/books/media/tmp</code> and gave it <code>chmod 777</code> permissions. I get the following error when I try to add a new image: <pre><code>SuspiciousOperation at /admin/books/author/add/ Attempted access to '/tmp/Comment.png' denied. Request Method: POST Request URL: http://username.webfactional.com/app/admin/books/author/add/ Django Version: 1.3.1 Exception Type: SuspiciousOperation Exception Value: Attempted access to '/tmp/Comment.png' denied. Exception Location: /home/username/webapps/django/lib/python2.7/django/core/files/storage.py in path, line 234 Python Executable: /usr/local/bin/python Python Version: 2.7.1 </code></pre> Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Do I need <code>.htaccess</code> or some other settings to be able to write to this directory or is there something wrong with my Django config? I would still like to know what <code>chmod</code> values to use and how to set <code>MEDIA_URL</code>. I'm thinking I might need to do something in <code>urls.py</code> for <code>MEDIA_URL</code>. My project is set up on the webhost Webfaction if that makes a difference.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
