32551	Need a direct reference of MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT in file uploads	Ashutosh Vishu Yadav	nobody	"https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/http/file-uploads/ **requires a direct reference of** https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/settings/#std:setting-MEDIA_ROOT and https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/settings/#media-url
 
The current file upload doc doesn't show the settings.py changes to achieve the result, rather than all the settings it should tell the **minimum** changes require for the **file upload system** to work so people don't have to look for another blog to find out what was the problem.

should include or refer:
- a **media** dir in root
- **MEDIA_URL = '/media/'** and **MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')**"	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	3.1	Normal	invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
