I'm very new to django but had the same issue a few weeks ago. The
problem is that all these variables are quite a bit misleading. First if
you serve your (static) media with django then you should leave MEDIA_URL
empty. Then you cannot have the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX the same as the media
prefix for your application (because they both use different
directories). I use /amedia for ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX.

document_root should point to your media directory on the disk (so it
should be C:/django/myProject/src/media/). Maybe you could just use the 
MEDIA_ROOT variable here. (I don't know why we need both. I just wanted
to make my prototype work so I left it this way for know.)
