All the directories are examples only, you would change them to be
what is appropriate for your system.

In the case of the media files you would copy them from the contrib/
admin/media directory under where Django is installed to some place
where your site is.

Thus, run Python and go:

>>> import django
>>> import os
>>> os.path.dirname(django.__file__)
'/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django'

Copy the directory called 'contrib/admin/media' from under that
directory and put that with your site. Then set up the Alias to refer
to it.

You could set the Alias to refer to the directory in the installed
Django installation if you want and not copy it, but copying it will
allow you to modify the media files and not muck up your original
Django installation.

Your problem is that you seem not to have done what I told you to. You
will get that because you aren't serving Django media files for css
etc via Apache. My email told you where to find the files. You need to
use Alias directives as documented to map to that directory or copy
media files into project area and map to that directory instead.

You shouldn't need this AliasMatch.

> Alias /media/ /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packeages/django/media/

If not copying files and referring to where they are in Django
package, this should be in your case:

Alias /media/ /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/
admin/media/

<Directory /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/
admin/media/>

Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

This is presuming that 'os.path.dirname(django.__file__)' did actually
return:

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django

Your above statements about what you got are plainly wrong and no
trust that anything is correct about what you did or said the results
were.

now my httpd.conf file is :-

Have you set your MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX
settings in settings.py?

Change this to:

<Directory /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/
admin/media/>
Options Indexes

Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

Then access the URL:

/media/

on your web server via the browser. You should get a response
something like:

Index of /media

Name Last modified Size Description
Parent Directory -
css/ 09-Jun-2010 11:46 -
img/ 09-Jun-2010 11:46 -
js/ 09-Jun-2010 11:46 -

If you aren't, then that isn't where the media files are or directory
is not accessible to Apache user for some reason.

Then view the source of the response when access Django admin page.
You should see something like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/css/base.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/css/login.css" /
>

If you don't see the href link starting with '/media', then you have
fiddled the default settings in your Django settings.py to something
incompatible. The defaults are:

MEDIA_ROOT = ''
MEDIA_URL = ''
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'

And if left untouched everything should work where media mounted at /
media in Apache.

MEDIA_URL = 'http://localhost/media'


ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'

[Jagdeep Singh Malhi]

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/css/base.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/css/login.css" /

In your browser, when you request the admin page which isn't showing
the styling, use your browser to view the source code for that page as
the browser received it. This may be under view menu or you can right
click on page to get context menu and it will show option for viewing
source code.

Did you validate that the /media/ URL shows those directories?

Did you set those values in settings file back to their default?

MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/your_name/mysite/media/'

MEDIA_URL = 'http://localhost/media'

What do you mean by that? Post what the browser shows when you access:

/media/

on your site from your browser. Eg. access:

http://localhost/media/

if access it via localhost.

Note that the trailing slash is important.

There is no point just saying that it doesn't show what I suggest
should be seen, post what it does show instead.

Also post the output of running:

ls -las /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/
media/

Please supply these bits of information, otherwise it is just getting
too hard to help you. May as well consult a tarot reader if you aren't
going to provide what is asked or offer up any other information which
may be relevant to working out what you have done wrong.

As I pointed out before, the defaults should work without you having
changed them. What you have there isn't the defaults I get in settings
file when I generate a fresh Django site so you must have changed
them.

Set them back to what I said in other email for now. Ie.,

MEDIA_ROOT = ''
MEDIA_URL = ''
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'
