How do I configure media files in Django?

To configure media files in Django, you need to set the MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT in your settings.py file.

What should I set MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT to?

MEDIA_URL is the URL that will serve the media files, like '/media/'. MEDIA_ROOT is the absolute path to the directory where files will be stored.

Can you give me an example of how to set these values?

Sure! You can set them like this:

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

Do I need to add anything to my URLs configuration?

Yes, you need to add a URL pattern to serve media files during development. Use django.conf.urls.static to do this.
