I’m getting some really weird issues with the Django admin application. I’m running everything on the manage.py runserver development server, so I can’t imagine what the issue would be, but I’m seeing something like this:

Obviously, this isn’t ideal, so I’d like to return it to actually looking good. I’m using the staticfiles app, which I think might be a part of the problem, but I don’t know for sure. What am I doing wrong here?

The admin site seems to link to the following CSS sheets, which aren’t being found:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/css/base.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/css/dashboard.css" />

    I’m assuming you mean you’re using the staticfiles contrib package in Django 1.3. If that’s correct, you only need:

    ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = STATIC_URL+'admin/'
