Re: Media files not served automatically anymore in 1.3?

Hope this helps: from https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.3-beta-1/

The staticfiles app ships with the ability to automatically serve
static files during development (if the DEBUG setting is True) when
using the runserver management command. Based on feedback from the
community this release adds two new options to the runserver command
to modify this behavior:
--nostatic: prevents the runserver command from serving files
completely.
--insecure: enables serving of static files even if running with DEBUG
set to False. (This is not recommended!)
