After quickly skimming the how-to it seems your Django install should be located at

Code:

http://192.168.1.4/media

I have not used symlinks for directing apache to different directories. I usually just modify/create a virtual host file and use the DocumentRoot directive.

Hi...there is no URL with http://192.168.1.4/media/admin or http://192.168.1.4/media/Recording (my project)

but with http://192.168.1.4/media i got a page like ftp pages with filezilla .

Can you determine the actual directory you have landed at? Compare the listings to your webroot.

Can you post a screenshot?

I'm sorry but where is webroot ? (/var/www/ ?)

Also i did't understand your question : Can you determine the actual directory you have landed at ?

Also

thank you....

Sorry for the poorly worded question. "Landed" meaning from the screenshot above, can you navigate to /var/www/media and see an empty directory?

Code:

ls -alt /var/www

Code:

ls -alt /var/www/media

Either /var/www/media is empty, the symbolic link is not working, or Apache2 does not have permission to follow the link.

A side note: I'm not sure how much time you have invested in this server, or if you have an available Virtual Machine host (hypervisor)... check out TurnkeyLinux for a prebuilt image you can deploy with Django already setup.

Yes it's empty .

Code:

ls -alt /var/www

its output :

Code:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jan 31 13:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jan 30 15:25 ..
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   50 Jan 23 21:45 admin_media -> /home/raafat/django_src/django/contrib/admin/media
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   18 Jan 23 21:45 media -> /home/raafat/media
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  177 Jan  5 23:01 index.html

Code:

ls -alt /var/www/media

its output :

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 23 21:45 /var/www/media -> /home/raafat/media

i will check your side note .

thank you .

It seems the how to you used is incomplete. It assumes you know how to configure apache2 for mod_python.

I suggest you look for a better how to specific to Debian or Ubuntu.

Take a look at this how-to, specifically look at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default edits.

I'm sorry I've never used mod_python.

Perhaps you should post your vhost file.
