When Django's DEBUG setting is set to False, it indicates that the application is running in production mode. In this mode, Django does not serve media files (such as images, videos, and other files uploaded by the user) directly to the web browser. Instead, it expects the web server to serve these files directly.
This is because serving media files directly through Django can slow down the application and consume server resources. Therefore, it is recommended to use a separate web server specifically designed for serving static files like Nginx or Apache.
To ensure that the web server serves media files correctly, you need to configure it to serve the media files directory specified in the MEDIA_ROOT setting. Additionally, you should also configure the web server's media file handling settings to ensure that it serves the appropriate media file types, such as image thumbnails.
