Broken styling in Django style admin interface

Question

If I switch to the Django Style admin interface in the administration area, the UI appears without styles applied.

Checking the HTTP traffic, I'm getting 404 responses on the following resources

/admin_media/css/forms.css
/admin_media/css/changelists.css
/admin_media/css/base.css

Does this work for anyone else, or have I broken something in the setup. I'm using Apache 2.2, mod_wsgi, ActivePython 2.6 on CentOS 5 (and everything else is working fine).

Snooping in the templates, it looks like these paths are specified very differently from others - are they meant to be served by Django itself, or do I need to mount them up via Apache? (apologies for the Django noobness).

(This is slightly annoying, as the standard administration view is less organised and is missing a few menu items)

Yeah, the alias is the correct solution. The admin media is part of the django installation. See this question, and for example this section in the django manual. We'll probably bundle that stuff with OSQA and make it part of the OSQA installation process, once we have something like a stable release.

I confirm

I also resolved the same issue adding Alias directive in my Apache osqa.conf file pointing to python folder containing CSS and images

Alias /admin_media/ /opt/ActivePython-2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/
    <Directory /opt/ActivePython-2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>
