hmm...I modified the root as you suggested but still the same results: I get the admin page minus any stylesheets, etc.
I'm confused though: what exactly is the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX prefixing? It seems that the setting tacks "/media" to the end of root path as a way of defining where the server should search for media. But if the "media" directory is being appended to the end of the path, why is it called a prefix?
