I saw this question and recommendation from Django Projects here but still can't get this to work. My Django Admin pages are not displaying the CSS at all.

This is my current configuration.

settings.py

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'

httpd.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /home/django/sgel
    ServerName ec2-***-**-***-***.ap-**********-1.compute.amazonaws.com
    ErrorLog /home/django/sgel/logs/apache_error.log
    CustomLog /home/django/sgel/logs/apache_access.log combined
    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/django/sgel/apache/django.wsgi

    <Directory /home/django/sgel/media>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Directory /home/django/sgel/apache>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    LogLevel warn

    Alias /media/ /home/django/sgel/media/

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName sgel.com
   Redirect permanent / http://www.sgel.com/
</VirtualHost>

In addition, I also ran the following to create (I think) the symbolic link ln -s /home/djangotest/sgel/media/admin/ /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/

UPDATE

In my httpd.conf file,

User django
Group django

When I run ls -l in my /media directory

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr  4 11:03 admin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    9 Apr  8 09:02 test.txt

Should that root user be django instead?

UPDATE 2 When I enter ls -la in my /media/admin folder

total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 03:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr  8 09:02 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   60 Apr 13 03:33 media -> /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/

The thing is, when I navigate to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/, the folder was empty. So I copied the CSS, IMG and JS folders from my Django installation into /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/ and it still didn't work
