Help with Django Admin locating .css files.

Django Admin isn't locating the required CSS files.

I've set this up correctly in the past but this time can't seem to get it right.

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = posixpath.join(STATIC_URL, "/media/")
STATIC_URL = '/site_media/'
MEDIA_URL = '/site_media/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'site_media', 'media')

Created symbolic link to point to: /home/user/webapps/app/lib/python2.6/django/contrib/admin/media

I'm a bit tired so I'm probably missing an obvious piece.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/css/base.css" /> shows as not a valid link when clicked from source.

Check the link to the CSS in the HTML source with your browser to make sure it is a valid link. Also login via SSH and run,

1	$ ls ~/webapps/

To verify the symbolic link is valid, it will be green if it is and red if it is not.

Link showed as green. When I check the .css file from the html source, it is not a valid link.
