Media URL wrong in Django 1.8.2

[xros]

The django-ckeditor did successfully upload the media and stored the image under a folder, say, ./media/uploads/

Every time after I successfully upload the picture to the server using django-ckeditor, the django-ckeditor would request a URL which looks like this

uploads/2015/06/11/app_software_360.jpg

And that indicates the browser is requesting to

http://localhost:8000/somewhere/someplace/uploads/2015/06/11/app_software_360.jpg

but not http://localhost:8000/media/uploads/2015/06/11/app_software_360.jpg This is the actually right URL location, but django-ckeditor just can not find it out. I guess this has something to do with the settings.py

You just can not fetch the right media URL, how to fix this?

[riklaunim]

what's your MEDIA_URL setting?

[xros]

Here's some scope of settings.py

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [
            os.path.join(BASE_DIR,  'templates'),


        ],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'django.template.context_processors.media',
            ],
        },
    },
]

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media")



CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads/'
#CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = ''

CKEDITOR_JQUERY_URL = '//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js'

CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
    'default': {
        #'toolbar': 'Basic',
        'toolbar': 'Full',
    },
}

CKEDITOR_IMAGE_BACKEND = 'pillow'

I haven't set the MEDIA_URL in the settings.py yet.

and in the urls.py of the project,

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_LOCAL)

    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
        'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}))

[xros]

Problem solved!
by adding these to settings.py

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

The MEDIA_URL must be included in the settings.py

[xros]

But I think this should be included in the README.md if any.
Tell people that , they need to set up MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL first for a new django project.

No media files will link correctly without MEDIA_URL.

but i have an error : "patterns" is not defined

Did you looked at the traceback?
