I'm trying to add images to my models in my Django app.
models.py
class ImageMain(models.Model):
product = models.ForeignKey(Product)
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='products')
In development mode, every time I try to upload the image via Django admin, I keep getting:
Upload a valid image. The file you uploaded was either not an image or a corrupted image.
I installed libjpeg via fink and then installed PIL 1.1.6 on ox X 10.5.7
from PIL import Image
file = open('/Users/Bryan/work/review_app/media/lcdtvs/samsung_UN46B6000_front.jpg', 'r')
trial_image = Image.open(file)
trial_image.verify()
It seems that the jpg is valid based on that session. However, it does not load. I have tried other jpgs, they don't work either.
What could be going wrong?
I was able to successfully upload a png file.

In Django, a default database is automatically created for you. All you have to do is add the tables called models. The upload_to tells Django to store the photo in a directory called pics under the media directory. The list_display list tells Django admin to display its contents in the admin dashboard.
Did you install libjpeg after PIL was already compiled/installed on the system? Maybe it can't find the decoder properly?
Here's one set of instructions I found on getting libjpeg and PIL playing nicely on MacOS (see towards the end; looks like you may need to explicitly set the dir of the decoder):
