your problem is in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages'
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth'
)
it's a tuple, you have to have a comma after messages proccesor

Your MEDIA_ROOT setting is also suspect.

As-is you will be writing user submitted files into your shared site-packages folder. Hopefully you won't be running Django as root and you'll get a permission error.
