Serving media files
===================
Django doesn't serve media files itself. It'd be inefficient to flow media
files through a (relatively) complex framework when much, much more well-tuned
solutions are better.
Django doesn't serve media files itself; it leaves that job to whichever Web
server you choose.

Serving the admin files
=======================
Note that the Django development server automagically serves admin media files,
but this is not the case when you use any other server arrangement. You're
responsible for setting up Apache, or whichever media server you're using, to
serve the admin files.
The admin files live in (``django/contrib/admin/media``) of the Django
distribution.
Here are two recommended approaches:
1. Create a symbolic link to the admin media files from within your
document root. This way, all of your Django-related files -- code
**and** templates -- stay in one place, and you'll still be able to
``svn update`` your code to get the latest admin templates, if they
change.
2. Or, copy the admin media files so that they live within your document
root.
