How to properly set path to media files in Django

Question
I've got a new project, and currently I'm trying to set it correctly. But somehow I can't make my media files work. Here's my current setting :
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.normpath( '/home/budzyk/rails/fandrive/site_media/' )
templates setting work on the other hand :
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
"/home/budzyk/rails/fandrive/templates",
)
Catalog with media files is ../fandrive/site-media/ so why it's not working ? Here's my base.html template with styles imported, and firebug window when my page is loaded :
<head>
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}css/style.css" />
{% block pagecss %}{% endblock %}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
Solution
You are going to have to set this up on the web server or use the methods in the link below.
OTHER TIPS
Setting MEDIA_ROOT doesn't magically serve your media files. You still need something to serve them from there and expose them on MEDIA_URL.
