Serving django Admin files with Apache and mod_wsgi

Question

I'm having trouble getting Apache to serve the admin media for django (using ver. 1.1). My ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX is set to the default:

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'

And I've modified my Apache setup:

Alias /media/ /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/contrib/admin/media/

<Directory /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/contrib/admin/media/>
     AllowOverride None
     Options None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
 </Directory>

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here and why it isn't working. I've seen a lot of questions like this asked, but can not determine why I'm still having the problem.

EDIT: Apache logs

Django 1.3 added new cotrib app django.contrib.staticfiles:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.4/

"Django will now expect to find the admin static files under the URL /admin/", so now ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX is deprecated - alias in Apache setup is sufficient, ex:

Alias /static/admin/ /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/contrib/admin/media/

This works for me.
