cumentation, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MEDIA_ROOT</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">STATIC_ROOT</span></code> must have different values. Before STATIC_ROOT was introduced, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MEDIA_ROOT</span></code> was also used (as fallback) to also serve static files. As this can have serious security implications, Django has validation checks to prevent it.</p>
