I had the same problem. This is what worked for me. Make a media directory somewhere for your project, like /work/django/media/
add that directory to your apache conf, ie
<Directory "/work/django/media/">
#...
</Directory>
and add this line to your virtual host section
Alias /media/ "/work/django/media/"
Then you just have to copy your django/contrib/admin/media/ (wherever
it is) to /work/django/media/
Hope this works for you also.
