title: Django trouble serving media files
body: <p>Getting back into django after a hiatus of a few months. Using 1.3. I have this url pattern:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(r'^(?P&lt;path&gt;[a-zA-Z0-9]{4}.jpg)','django.views.static.serve',{'document_root':'/media/uploads'})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I put test.jpg in /media/uploads. I go to localhost:8000/test.jpg and the url seems to match the pattern, but I get a 404 - ""/media/uploads/test.jpg" does not exist". What could the problem be? I saw a thread where someone was having the same problem and the reason ended up being that MEDIA_URL and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX were the same, but that's not the case here.</p>
