Django: Difference between BASE_DIR and PROJECT_ROOT?
Question:
From settings.py:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
What’s the difference between these two?
Answers:
They’re almost the same thing. BASE_DIR is where your manage.py lies, and PROJECT_ROOT is BASE_DIR + your_project_name (where settings.py is).
