Hey,
The admin media setting is only for django's admin interface. For
me, I needed to change some things in the admin interface, and so
copied the media folder (in windows, found in "C:\Python25\Lib\site-
packages\django\contrib\admin\") to the root of my server directory
(alternatively, non-windows systems can use symlinks.) My settings.py
has the default: ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'
If you are doing doing something outside the admin interface, that's
a bit different. I have a folder at /projectfolder/media with sub-
folders for css, images, etc., some of which have more sub-folders for
different applications.
Settings.py has: MEDIA_ROOT = 'pathtoproject/media/'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://yoururl.com/media/'
In my templates, to attach a css file I have something like:
{% block attach %}<link href="/projectfolder/media/css/
filename.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />{% endblock %}
I needed to add some stuff to my apache configuration to serve the
static files, and http://www.djangobook.com/en/beta/chapter21/ and
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/ were helpful
in how to do this. The django dev server doesn't handle the static
files, but that's not a problem for me so I've not looked into if it
can or should.
This works for me, hope it helps.
