[Bug] Candidate CVs are not uploaded to the media directory since September 2025 #945
Description
Description
Since early September 2025, when a candidate submits a CV through the job application form, the file path appears correctly in the candidate’s record, confirming that the upload form detects the file.
However, the document itself is never saved to the server — it does not exist in the /media/ directory or anywhere else on the system.
When attempting to open the file from the candidate’s profile, the system displays a 404 Not Found error.
This issue affects all candidates since September and makes it impossible to retrieve newly uploaded CVs
Steps to Reproduce
Go to the Recruitment module.
Submit a new Candidate form with a CV file attached
Open the candidate record
Click on the CV
Expected Behavior
The uploaded CV should be saved in the server’s
The file should be downloadable and viewable from the candidate record.
No 404 errors should occur.
Actual Behavior
The file path is displayed but no actual file exists in /media/.
Clicking the link results in a 404 Not Found error.
No new files are stored for any candidates since September 2025.

Additional Information
*The problem persists after restarting
No configuration changes were made around the time the issue appeared.
The database still stores the filename, but the physical file is missing.
Support was contacted by email, and I was advised to manually re-upload the files, but this does not resolve the root cause — no new uploads are saved at all.
