Thanks Shawn, I didn't read the documentation as thoroughly as I should have. And I know that I should read the English version rather than relying on the outdated, Japanese version. But this is good, as I need to learn English more.
I modified the urls.py according to the docs, and the MEDIA_URL, MEDIA_ROOT work now. Just one more question, if I can... Now, the MEDIA_* variables work fine using adding a url pattern, but how can I serve the STATIC_* variables without the need to define the STATICFILES_DIRS variables. I've tried just relying on the STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT variables and they do not work. I tried all the examples in the (English) documentation, and they don't work. I must be missing something here.
