>From a similar question yesterday: When using the development server, any urls that start with the setting's ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX (which defaults to /media/) are intercepted and served up by the AdminMediaHandler out of the contrib/admin/media tree under the Django install directory. So if you want to put you own media under urls that start with /media/, you need to change ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to something else. Note neither MEDIA_ROOT nor MEDIA_URL come into play here. MEDIA_ROOT is used when uploading files, as for a FileField or and ImageField; it defines the root of the directory tree where the files should be stored. MEDIA_URL is used when constructing url values for such fields. There's also (post 0.96, I believe) a context processor that puts the MEDIA_URL setting in contexts so you can easily access it from templates. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with a MEDIA_URL setting of leading space + media.localhost?
