Assuming you are using the development server, I've been bitten by this
before. The development server (./manage.py runserver) cannot handle
having your MEDIA_URL being a suburl of the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX.
Normally, with something like mod_python + Apache, this would not be a
problem, but the way django.views.static.serve handles things, it gets
confused.
The solution is to change ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX in your settings.py to
something like /static/, rather than /media/, You don't need to change
anything else, just that one setting, then restart (or change MEDIA_URL
to be something like localhost:8080/something_else/...
Of course, if you are not using the dev server, we are still on square
one.
