Just to cover the basics, did you follow all installation steps described 
here:
http://django_compressor.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart/#installation

Mainly adding 'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder' to STATICFILES_FINDERS


Another thing kind of odd is that your css URL starts with /media/. Whats 
your STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL setting? Check this 
out: 
http://django_compressor.readthedocs.org/en/latest/settings/#django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_URL

It looks like its defaulting to MEDIA_URL, but you said you were using 
Django 1.4, which should have STATIC_URL available.
