Why won't the file open?

Question

Django

On the site, when going to the document /media/uploads/2016/Buh_2015.pdf, it
gives a 403 error. The site is made with django. I can't say more, because I don't know anything else myself. Tell me, is it because of django or is it something server-side (well, that is, related to ngnix)?

Answer 1

There are several nuances.
Are MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT specified in serttings.py?
Are you running locally or not?
If locally, then django itself cannot serve media files, you need to add to urls.py

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

if settings.DEBUG:
  urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

If on a production server, then configure apache/nginx

Answer 2

error 403

Answer 3

everything is simple to start, go through the mozilla, and write the script through the post, with the name of the link
