In my admin I try to upload an image and after clicking save I get this error:

I just installed the Python Imaging Library to my virtualenv. This is my models.py file:
from django.db import models
LITERARY_TYPE = (
('F', 'Fiction'),
('N', 'Non-ficiton'),
)
class Book(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
author = models.CharField(max_length=200,blank=True,null=True)
slug = models.SlugField(unique=True)
literary_type = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=LITERARY_TYPE)
description = models.TextField(blank=True)
added = models.DateField(blank=True,null=True,auto_now_add=True)
cover = models.ImageField(blank=True,null=True,upload_to='/media/')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
This is my first time working with file fields in Django. Is my upload_to
parameter correct? Is something else the issue?
