It does not use the MEDIA_ROOT setting but rather serves the admin media from the directory where the source is located (thus I don't understand your statement below that changing MEDIA_ROOT breaks your admin media...that shouldn't be). If you want to get the admin media served from some other location when using the development server, use the --adminmedia option: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#djadminopt---adminmedia Karen > Here's what I currently have. > > Directory Structure. > > /sales_tracking - The root directory for the project. > /sales_tracking/media/admin/css - The directory that I've copied the > "base.css" and "dashboard.css" files into. > /sales_tracking/templates/admin - The directory that I've copied the > "base.html" and "base-site.html" into. > > Changes to settings.py > > MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/andrew/Projects/Holland Sales Tracking/ > sales_tracking/media/' > ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/' > > When I view the source of my Admin page I get the following style > sheet tags. > > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/admin/css/ > base.css" /> > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/admin/css/ > dashboard.css" /> > > All of this looks right to me but no changes I make to the CSS files > actual propagate out to the page.
