files not being served/downloaded properly about django-private-storage

[aryaniyaps]

I referred to this issue to make the DRFObjectDownloadView #24

[aryaniyaps]

this is my storage class

import hashlib
import os
import uuid

from django.conf import settings
from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage


class DefaultStorage(FileSystemStorage):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(DefaultStorage, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def get_available_name(self, name, max_length=None):
        # we return a hash of the
        # file given, in case we miss out, django calls
        # the get_alternative_name method
        dir_name, file_name = os.path.split(name)
        file_root, file_ext = os.path.splitext(file_name)

        file_root = hashlib.md5(file_root.encode()).hexdigest()
        name = os.path.join(dir_name, file_root + file_ext)
        return super(DefaultStorage, self).get_available_name(name, max_length)

    def get_alternative_name(self, file_root, file_ext):
        # we insert a random uuid hex string into the given
        # file name before returning the same back
        return '%s%s%s' % (file_root, uuid.uuid4().hex, file_ext)


# instantiate storage for private media access
# based on configured settings for django-private-storage
private_storage = DefaultStorage(location=settings.PRIVATE_STORAGE_ROOT, base_url=settings.PRIVATE_URL)

settings

# private-storage configuration
PRIVATE_URL = '/private/'
PRIVATE_STORAGE_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'private/')
PRIVATE_STORAGE_SERVER = 'apache'

am I doing anything wrong here?

[aryaniyaps]

the culprit was the PRIVATE_STORAGE_SERVER attribute in my settings. I had to remove it during development.
