Django: Uploaded image not showing during production

Question

During development my uploaded images are showing, but on production they are not. Here are the codes:

#settings.py
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/eakdev/webapps/my_static'
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/eakdev/webapps/my_static/media'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

#urls.py When I add this during development my images are showing correctly
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

#base.html
<img class="img-responsive" src="{{ project.preview.url }}" alt="">

After reading some of the questions related to this, I think the reason why its not working is that my code is using dev server to serve the media files, which is only good for development. What do i change so that it would work in production?

As mentioned in your ticket, you need to serve your media directory on the /media url. First by creating an application of type "Symbolic link to static/cgi/php app" and entering the path to your media files. Then mount it on the website entry on /media
