Has anyone encountered an issue with uploading a PDF file to a database using forms, where the file fails to be sent to the server?
models.py
class Presse(models.Model):
pdf = models.FileField()
forms.py
class PresseForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Presse
fields = '__all__'
I have tried following the same approach I use for uploading images, which works without any problems. However, it seems like there might be an error or something that I am missing.
views.py
def presse(request):
article = Presse.objects.get(id=1)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = PresseForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=article)
if form.is_valid():
form.save
redirect('main:presse')
else:
form = PresseForm(instance=article)
return render(request, 'main/presse.html', {
'article': article,
'form': form
})
presse.html
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button class="btn btn-success">Ersetzen & speichern</button>
</form>
After attempting to upload a file and getting redirected, I encounter a 404 error:
GET http://localhost:8000/media/Untitled.pdf 404 (Not Found)
Even though the path is correct, the file does not seem to be served. Any suggestions on what could be causing this issue?
