title: Django Media URLS on Amazon EC2
body: <p>I'm trying to host my Django project on an Amazon EC2 Instance and I'm having some issues with my media URLs (I suspect). Currently, easy_thumbnails isn't able to generate any thumbnails and it returns me the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Couldn't get the thumbnail ... The source file does not appear to be an image
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems to me that easy_thumbnails isn't looking in the right directory for images or something. The debug view shows my URLs as being configured like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MEDIA_ROOT: '/opt/python/bundle/6/app/media'
  MEDIA_URL: '/media/'
  STATIC_ROOT: '/opt/python/bundle/6/app/s'
  STATIC_URL: '/static/'
  STATICFILES_DIRS: ('/opt/python/bundle/6/app/static',)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything runs fine on my local dev version so I'm a little stumped. Any suggestions on what to check? Using FileZilla I can log into my EC2 instance and sure enough, in the media folder my images are being saved, it just seems that easy_thumbnails isn't looking in the right place or something.</p>
